Israel’s Elbit Systems announced a new contract for the PULS (Precise & Universal Launching System) rocket artillery system, this time from a European NATO member. The announcement of Thursday, November 12 says the contract is worth about $260 million and covers the supply of PULS systems and munitions. It will be carried out over five years. The company did not name the customer country, as with previous European orders for the system.

Elbit describes PULS as a complete and cost-effective solution that can fire unguided rockets, precision munitions and missiles of different ranges. The launcher is adapted to existing wheeled and tracked vehicles, which, according to the company, significantly reduces maintenance and training costs. “The continued selection of the PULS system by European and NATO customers reflects the system’s operational maturity, its flexibility and its ability to meet the evolving requirements of modern armed forces,” said Elbit’s president and CEO Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis. He added that the contract shows the company’s long-standing partnerships with European customers.

The new order comes less than a month after the $235 million contract for PULS and EXTRA-MR rockets from a European country in October. The British Calibre Defence counts at least 12 orders for PULS and its munitions since 2023, with a total contract value for the launcher of at least $1.6 billion and deliveries until 2030. Known customers include Denmark, the Netherlands, Greece and Germany, as well as Serbia and India. Spain, on the other hand, cancelled its PULS order because of its government’s concerns over the war in Gaza.

The same report notes that there are several potential buyers in Europe. The Czech Republic needs rocket artillery and has examined PULS alongside South Korea’s Chunmoo and the American M142 HIMARS, Slovakia is looking for a new system, while Portugal has no rocket artillery. The new contract could also be a follow-on order from a country that already uses the system.

In Greece, the signatures for the Israeli PULS were made in April. Elbit Systems employs more than 21,000 people and reported revenue of $2,287.1 million for the quarter to June 30, 2026, with a backlog of $32 billion.
