Elbit Systems awarded $750m Greek PULS artillery contract
Elbit Systems has received a contract worth approximately $750m to supply Precise & Universal Launching System (PULS) artillery rocket systems to the Hellenic Armed Forces.
The contract forms part of an agreement between the Israeli Ministry of Defense and the Hellenic Ministry of National Defense.
Under the terms of the contract, Elbit Systems will deliver PULS launchers, together with a munition package that includes training rockets, operational precision-guided rockets of varying ranges, and loitering munitions.
The delivery of the systems is scheduled to take place over four years, with the contract also providing for follow-on support for a further 10 years.
In addition, the agreement follows the policy of the Greek government, incorporating cooperation with local industries in Greece, technology transfer, and the sharing of technical knowledge.
Elbit Systems president and CEO Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis said: “Elbit Systems has a longstanding and successful cooperation with the Hellenic Ministry of National Defense, and this project further strengthens that relationship.
“Greece joins additional Nato countries that have selected the PULS system, underscoring its growing reputation as a highly effective and versatile solution for modern artillery requirements in Europe and beyond, and we are honoured by the continued confidence shown in our advanced systems.”
The PULS system, a multipurpose launcher, can launch a range of munitions, including unguided rockets, precision-guided munitions, and missiles over various distances.
The launcher adapts to both wheeled and tracked platforms, allowing for reductions in maintenance and training expenditure. It is capable of firing multiple ammunition types from a single position, with ranges extending up to 300 km.
The launcher features two pods, each designated for a specific rocket variant.
The Accular 122mm accommodates 18 rockets with a 35km range, while the Accular 160mm houses 10 rockets with a 40km range.
The EXTRA holds four rockets with a 150km range. The Predator Hawk holds two rockets reaching up to 300km.
Elbit Systems announced in February 2025 that Germany selected the PULS rocket launcher artillery system to form the foundation of the Bundeswehr’s forthcoming long-range indirect fire system.
