PULS

Israel’s multi-caliber, pod-based wheeled rocket launcher — a system that merges short-range saturation rockets, 300 km tactical ballistic missiles, and loitering munitions in a single vehicle, and has emerged as Europe’s primary non-US alternative to HIMARS.

Overview

The PULS (Precise & Universal Launching System) is a wheeled, pod-fed multiple rocket launcher developed by Elbit Systems. It traces its lineage to the Israeli Military Industries (IMI) Lynx MRL, and today fields a dual-pod architecture that accepts sealed launch pods for calibers from 122 mm to 370 mm — including unguided rockets, precision-guided EXTRA and Predator Hawk rounds, Delilah cruise missiles, and SkyStriker loitering munitions. Elbit’s product documentation stresses the “mix-and-match” capability: two independent pods on the same launcher can fire a different weapon type each, enabling a single vehicle to cover area suppression, deep precision strike, and organic battle-damage assessment without re-configuration. The system has been adopted by the IDF under the Lahav name, and since 2023 has secured major export contracts in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
