If any standard missile launcher is equipped with an Artemis system, ''every'' launcher of that type must have its own Artemis-P attached. For example, a 'Mech mounting an LRM-15 and an LRM-5 would need two Artemis-P systems. [[Rocket Launcher|Rocket Launchers]], [[MRM|MRMs]], [[Streak Missile Launcher|Streak launchers]], and [[Narc Missile Beacon|NARC]] systems are incompatible with Artemis-P.
