Martel is an Anglo-French anti-radiation missile. Martel is a contraction of Missile, Anti-Radiation, Television, referring to the guidance options. There are two variants, the passive radar guided (AS 37) and the video guided (AJ 168). The UK have used both types, the French only the radar-equipped variant. The Martel fuselage forms the basis of the Sea Eagle anti-shipping missile.
