Recently the Israeli PULS MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) has been ordered by Denmark and the Netherlands. Other countries like Spain, Germany, and Thailand have also shown interest to acquire the PULS rocket launcher system.

The PULS™ Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), designed and developed by Elbit System in Israel, delivers an effective, autonomous artillery solution. It offers the benefit of precision firing for a wide range of advanced rockets, proving cost-effective and optimally responsive. Distinguishing itself from traditional artillery, the PULS™ system removes the need to reposition artillery units based on firing range requirements. Instead, this versatile system allows the deployment of various ammunition types over different ranges from a single location, with ranges extending up to 300 km.

A standard firing operation can be completed in less than a minute from its initiation. Notably, the PULS™ is fully compatible with existing platforms, which results in substantial maintenance and training cost reductions compared to adopting a new vehicle platform. The launcher has been specifically designed to bridge the gaps among all artillery components, including means of fire, sensors, and C4I.

The multipurpose launcher houses two distinct PODS, each tailored to a specific rocket type: the Accular 122mm, housing 18 rockets with a reach of up to 35km, and the Accular 160mm, holding 10 rockets with a reach of up to 40km. Additionally, the EXTRA houses 4 rockets, capable of reaching up to 150km, and the Predator Hawk, containing 2 rockets, has an impressive range of up to 300km. Regardless of range, the PULS™ system can neutralize specified targets accurately and efficiently. This system has been engineered to maximize response time, providing optimal firing flexibility without necessitating unique modifications.

The Accular, a guided rocket known for its high accuracy and combat-proven design, supports ground forces, particularly in urban warfare scenarios where near-real-time responsiveness is crucial. It has the capability to neutralize targets up to a range of 40km, making it particularly valuable in areas where the application of conventional artillery is constrained by factors like terrain, distance, and accuracy.

The EXTRA rocket is a cost-effective, precise, and long-range artillery solution, with a range extending up to 150km and an accuracy of 10m Circular Error Probable (CEP). It enables complete battlefield coverage, armed with state-of-the-art warhead capabilities that allow for effective strikes on high-value targets. These include command and communication centers, logistics installations, and transportation infrastructures. Capable of accurately hitting a target at a range of 30 to 150km, the EXTRA remains functional irrespective of weather conditions or reliance on additional systems. This highly responsive, supersonic rocket can reach a 150km target in less than five minutes, thereby becoming the preferred choice for precision strikes, traditionally the domain of the air force.

Lastly, the Predator Hawk, with its capacity to reach up to 300km and an accuracy of less than 10m CEP, is designed to attack and destroy high-priority targets. It exhibits a depth capability effective against a broad array of high-value targets across the tactical battlefield. These include command and communication centers, logistics installations, transportation infrastructures, headquarters, electronic warfare sites, radar sites, and strategic sites, among others. The Predator Hawk can accurately hit a target at a range of 50 to 300km, independently of weather conditions or additional systems.
