The Bachem Ba 349 Natter was a World War II German Point-defence rocket powered interceptor which was to be used in a very similar way to a manned surface-to-air missile. After vertical take-off which eliminated the need for airfields the majority of the flight to the Allied bombers was to be controlled by an autopilot. The primary mission of the relatively untrained pilot perhaps better called a gunner was to aim the aircraft at its target bomber and fire its armament of rockets.
