PULS ("Precise & Universal Launching System", formerly known as Lynx MRL) is a multiple rocket launcher developed and manufactured by ELBIT Systems (formerly Israel Military Industries) and used by Israel Defense Forces and other countries.{{cite web|url=http://www.imisystems.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/LYNX.pdf|title=Lynx : Autonomous multi-purpose multiple rocket launcher| publisher =IMI systems |access-date=11 December 2017}}

History

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).{{cite web | date = 17 January 2020 |title= Elbit Systems PULS (Precise & Universal Launching System) |url=https://militaryleak.com/2020/01/17/elbit-systems-puls-precise-universal-launching-system/ | work =Military Leak |access-date=16 November 2020}} The Defense Technology Institute (DTI) of Thailand is partnering with Elbit Systems to develop a Thai version of the PULS called D-11A.{{cite web | url=https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/defense-security-2022-thailand-elbit-partner-on-d11a-multiple-rocket-launcher | title=Defense & Security 2022: Thailand, Elbit partner on D11A multiple rocket launcher | date=30 August 2022 }}

The EURO-PULS is being developed in cooperation between the German KNDS and ELBIT targeting the European market by integration of, additional missile types. As part of the project, the US made GMLRS and other HIMARS missiles would have been integrated with the EURO-PULS launchers, however, the management of Lockheed Martin, the US missile manufacturer, refused to do so.{{Cite web |title=Citing missile mismatch, Lockheed snarls at HIMARS challenge in Europe |date=18 June 2024 |url=https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2024/06/18/citing-missile-mismatch-lockheed-snarls-at-himars-challenge-in-europe/}}

In January 2023, Denmark announced it is negotiating the acquisition of 8 PULS systems for the Royal Danish Army.{{Cite web |date=2023-01-27 |title=Denmark negotiates the purchase of ATMOS and PULS systems from Elbit |url=https://defence-industry.eu/denmark-negotiates-the-purchase-of-atmos-and-puls-systems-from-elbit/ |access-date=2023-02-17 |language=en-US}}

In March 2023, the Dutch Ministry of Defence announced that it would acquire 20 PULS systems for the Royal Netherlands Army with the first systems to be delivered in the same year.{{cite press release |url=https://www.defensie.nl/actueel/nieuws/2023/04/03/defensie-versterkt-vuurkracht-met-raketartillerie-en-langeafstandswapens |title=Defensie versterkt vuurkracht met raketartillerie en langeafstandswapens |trans-title=Army strengthens firepower with rocket artillery and long range weapons |language=Dutch |date=3 April 2023 |access-date=3 April 2023}}{{cite press release |url=https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/documenten/kamerstukken/2023/04/03/kamerbrief-over-d-fase-project-raketartillerie |title=Kamerbrief over D-fase project Raketartillerie |trans-title=House of Representatives letter about D-phase project Rocket artillery |language=Dutch |date=3 April 2023 |access-date=4 April 2023}} The contract worth 305 million dollars was signed on May 18.{{Cite web|url=https://elbitsystems.com/pr-new/elbit-systems-awarded-305-million-contract-to-supply-puls-rocket-artillery-systems-to-the-royal-netherlands-army/|title=Elbit Systems Awarded $305 Million Contract to Supply PULS Rocket Artillery Systems to the Royal Netherlands Army| publisher = Elbit systems}}

On 10 October 2023, the government of Spain decided to order the locally manufactured version of the PULS systems for SILAM programme (:es:SILAM).{{Cite web |title=zona-militar.com – España aprobó el contrato para la compra del Sistema Lanzacohetes de Alta Movilidad destinado al Ejército de Tierra | date=11 October 2023 |url=https://www.zona-militar.com/2023/10/11/espana-aprobo-el-contrato-para-la-compra-del-sistema-lanzacohetes-de-alta-movilidad-destinado-al-ejercito-de-tierra/?fbclid=IwAR2n3GOfs4P6WJhFA1fu3J4TztRvxXUTT0STq9PHcuIAee8nKeyXrlidOZI}}

Israel introduced the PULS into IDF service in 2020 under the name Lahav, which is a PULS rocket module mounted on a HEMTT truck chassis. It was first used operationally in February 2024 during the Gaza war.[https://armyrecognition.com/hamas_gaza_-_israel_war_2023/israeli_army_deploys_new_lahav_multi-caliber_mlrs_against_hamas_militants_in_gaza_strip.html Israeli Army deploys new Lahav multi-caliber MLRS against Hamas militants in Gaza Strip].

It can be configured to carry a variety of rockets in two sealed pod containers: 36 (2 pods × 18 rockets each) 122mm Grad rockets; or 26 (2×13) 160mm LAR-160 or ACCULAR rockets; or eight (2×4) 306mm EXTRA rockets; two (2×1) 330mm Delilah missiles or four (2×2) 370mm Predator Hawk tactical ballistic missiles.

The PULS also able to carry and launch SkyStriker loitering munitions, which is a unique feature among MLRS systems. The SkyStriker drones have a range over 100 km and 6 drones are packed into a single container according to a video published by Elbit Systems. The drone can engage moving targets unlike the other missiles of the PULS system, but it can also return and land after doing reconnaissance and can be relaunched again.{{Cite web |title=elbitsystems.com - Elbit Systems Awarded a $95 Million Contract to Supply Canister Configuration SkyStriker Loitering Munitions to a European Country |url=https://elbitsystems.com/pr-new/elbit-systems-awarded-a-95-million-contract-to-supply-canister-configuration-skystriker-loitering-munitions-to-a-european-country/ }}{{Cite web |title=youtube.com - Elbit Systems / SkyStriker Tactical Loitering Munition (video) | website=YouTube | date=20 May 2024 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dA-ha5umhI}}
