PULS
PULS (formerly known as Lynx MRL) is a multiple rocket launcher developed and manufactured by Elbit Systems (formerly Israel Military Industries) and used by the Israel Defense Forces and other countries.
It can be configured to carry a variety of rockets in two sealed pod containers: 36 (2 pods x 18 rockets each) 122mm Grad rockets; or 26 (2x13) 160mm LAR-160 or ACCULAR rockets; or eight (2x4) 306mm EXTRA rockets; two (2x1) 330mm Delilah missiles or four (2x2) 370mm Predator Hawk tactical ballistic missiles.
After the acquisition of Israel Military Industries by Elbit Systems in 2018, an upgraded and modernized version of the Lynx was developed, called the PULS (Precise & Universal Launching System). The Defense Technology Institute (DTI) of Thailand is partnering with Elbit Systems to develop a Thai version of the PULS called D-11A.
In January 2023 Denmark announced it is negotiating the acquisition of eight PULS systems for the Royal Danish Army.
In March 2023, the Dutch Ministry of Defence announced that it would acquire twenty PULS systems for the Royal Netherlands Army with the first systems to be delivered in the same year. The contract worth 305 million dollars was signed on May 18th.
On 10 October 10th 2023, the government of Spain decided to order the locally manufactured version of the PULS systems for SILAM program.
