On March 2, 2023, the Danish government announced the acquisition of two batteries of PULS artillery rocket launcher systems from Elbit Systems, including a package of rockets and missiles. On April 3, 2023, the Dutch Ministry of Defense followed suit, announcing the purchase of an undisclosed number of PULS MLRSs (Multiple Launch Rocket Systems).

The adoption of the Israeli-made PULS by these two NATO members indicates a potential shift in the standard for rocket launcher systems, potentially outperforming American counterparts like HIMARS and M270 MLRS.

Elbit Systems' Land rocket artillery solutions are tailored to modern artillery requirements and battlefield scenarios, offering a cost-effective solution for the precise firing of advanced rockets. Their autonomous advanced firing systems streamline mission management and ensure consistent and efficient fire support in all weather conditions. The flexible platforms are also compatible with local or third-party products and C4I systems.

The PULS autonomous artillery rocket system delivers a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for the precise firing of various advanced rocket types, boasting optimal responsiveness. Unlike traditional artillery, the PULS system can fire different ammunition types to various ranges from the same position, reaching distances of up to 300km.

The multi-purpose launcher has two PODS, each designed for a specific rocket type: the Accular 122mm (18 rockets) with a range of up to 35km, the Accular 160mm (10 rockets) with a range of up to 40km, the EXTR (4 rockets) with a range of up to 150km, and the Predator Hawk (2 rockets) with a range of up to 300km. PULS is capable of accurately and effectively neutralizing targets at all ranges, providing maximum responsiveness and firing flexibility without requiring special modifications.

A typical firing mission with PULS can be executed in under a minute. The system is fully adaptable to existing platforms, significantly reducing maintenance and training costs associated with introducing new vehicle platforms. The launcher was specifically designed to bridge the gaps between all artillery components: means of fire, sensors, and C4I.
