Elbit Systems Ltd. announced today that it was awarded a contract valued at approximately $260 million to supply Precise & Universal Launching System (PULS™, formerly known as Lynx MRL) rocket artillery systems and munitions to a European NATO member country. The contract will be performed over a period of 5 years. The PULS system provides a comprehensive and cost-effective solution capable of launching unguided rockets, precision-guided munitions, and missiles with various ranges. The launcher is fully adaptable to existing wheeled and tracked platforms, enabling significant reductions in maintenance and training costs.
Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems: “The continued selection of the PULS system by European and NATO customers reflects the system’s operational maturity, versatility and ability to address the evolving requirements of modern armed forces. This contract further reflects Elbit Systems’ long-term partnerships with European customers and our role in supporting major defense modernization programs across the region.”
The PULS can be configured to carry a variety of rockets in two sealed pod containers: 36 (2 pods × 18 rockets each) 122mm Grad rockets; or 26 (2×13) 160mm LAR-160 or ACCULAR rockets; or eight (2×4) 306mm EXTRA rockets; two (2×1) 330mm Delilah missiles or four (2×2) 370mm Predator Hawk tactical ballistic missiles. A shorter (80 km) range GMLRS equivalent was also introduced under the name EXTRA-MR. These are smaller, six per pod missiles with laser guidence (SAL) beside the regular GPS/INS guidence. The PULS is also able to carry and launch SkyStriker loitering munitions, which is a unique feature among MLRS systems. The SkyStriker drones have a range over 100 km and 6 drones are packed into a single container according to a video published by Elbit Systems.
