Elbit Systems has secured a contract worth about $260m for its Precise & Universal Launching System (PULS) rocket artillery system.
The agreement, set to run over five years, covers both the delivery of the artillery systems and accompanying munitions.

While Elbit confirmed that the purchaser is a European Nato member, the company did not reveal the country’s identity.
Further details regarding the number of launchers to be provided or the specific munitions included in the contract were not disclosed.
PULS is a multi-purpose launcher designed to fire unguided rockets, guided munitions and missiles. The system uses two launch pods, which can be configured for different types of rocket or missile.
According to Elbit, the available munitions include 122mm Accular rockets with a stated range of up to 35km, 160mm Accular rockets reaching up to 40km, EXTRA rockets with a range of up to 150km, and Predator Hawk missiles with a range of up to 300km.
The company said the launcher can be integrated on wheeled or tracked vehicle platforms, rather than requiring a dedicated vehicle. It also said a firing mission can be carried out in under one minute from initiation.
Elbit Systems president and chief executive Bezhalel Machlis said: “The continued selection of the PULS system by European and Nato customers reflects the system’s operational maturity, versatility and ability to address the evolving requirements of modern armed forces.”
The announcement follows a separate contract disclosed last month, under which Elbit said it would supply EXTRA-MR rockets and PULS rocket artillery systems to another unnamed European customer. That award was valued at approximately $235m.
