PULS Artillery rocket launchers credit Elbit Systems
Elbit Systems announced that it was awarded a $150 million contract to supply PULS (Precise and Universal Launching Systems) rocket launchers and a package of precision-guided long-range rockets to an international customer. The contract will be performed over a period of three years.
The identity of the client was not revealed.
This comes just a few days after Elbit Systems was awarded a contract worth approximately $114 million with an Asian-Pacific country to supply two long-range patrol aircraft (LRPA) equipped with an advanced and comprehensive mission suite. The contract will be carried out over a period of five years. That nation was not identified either.

Israel is known for its world-leading defense industries like Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, Elbit and more. Just last month the Israel Ministry of Defense’s International Defense Cooperation Directorate (SIBAT) inaugurated the Israeli national pavilion at the highly esteemed 2023 Paris Air Show with 17 Israeli defense industries. And last year was a record-breaking one for Israeli defense exports, (read Jewish Business News story here) which reached an unprecedented peak amounting to over $12.5 billion dollars in 2022, compared to $11.3 billion in 2021. Israeli defense exports have doubled in less than a decade and increased by 50% in 3 years.
Elbit Systems’ PULS, says the company, provides a comprehensive and cost effective solution, that can launch unguided rockets, precision guided munitions and missiles with an effective range of up to 300km. With its unique design, the PULS can also support future growth capabilities such as the ability to launch loitering munitions, including the canister launched configuration of Elbit Systems’ SkyStriker loitering munition.
The PULS launcher is fully adaptable to existing wheeled and tracked platforms, enabling a significant reduction in maintenance and training costs.
Yehuda (Udi) Vered, General Manager of Elbit System Land: “We are seeing an increased demand for our advanced artillery solutions from militaries looking to increase the effectiveness of their armed forces. This contract provides an additional vote of confidence in Elbit Systems’ PULS rocket artillery solutions.”
