Developed by Elbit Systems, the PULS system offers a complete and cost-effective solution capable of launching unguided rockets, precision-guided munitions and missiles with an effective range of up to 300 km. Its design is unique. The PULS can also support future growth capabilities, such as the ability to launch surveillance munitions, including the SkyStriker surveillance munition launch configuration from Elbit Systems.

The PULS launcher is fully adaptable to existing wheeled and tracked platforms, significantly reducing maintenance and training costs, Elbit Systems says.
