The Altec MART (for Mini-Avion de Reconnaissance Télépiloté - "Remotely piloted reconnaissance mini-aeroplane") is a reconnaissance UAV developed in France during the 1980s.

The Mark II version served with French forces in the first Gulf War. It has a simple conventional configuration like that of a large RC model. It is catapult-launched, carries an imaging system, and appears to be recovered by parachute.

Altec Industries is now selling an improved version of the MART II, the S-MART. It is slightly heavier, has seven hours endurance, and can carry ELINT and jamming payloads.
