Elbit Systems announced today 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.
Elbit Systems’ PULS 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.

The PULS launcher is fully adaptable to existing wheeled and tracked platforms, enabling a significant reduction in maintenance and training costs.
