Elbit Systems Secures $260 Million PULS Contract for European NATO Ally

Elbit Systems revealed on Sunday that the company has secured a contract valued at approximately $260 million. The agreement involves the supply of Precise and Universal Launching System, or PULS, rocket artillery systems and associated munitions to an unnamed European NATO member state.

The contract is scheduled to be executed over a period of five years. The PULS platform was originally developed by Israel Military Industries, which Elbit acquired in the past. The system is designed to launch a variety of projectiles, including unguided rockets, precision-guided munitions, and missiles, across different ranges.

A key feature of the PULS system is its adaptability. It can be mounted on existing wheeled and tracked platforms. According to Elbit, this design choice helps to significantly lower the costs associated with maintenance and training for the military units operating the equipment. The system is currently in operational service with the Israel Defense Forces as well as several foreign militaries.

Bezhalel Machlis, president and CEO of Elbit Systems, commented on the significance of the new deal. He stated that the continued selection of the PULS system by European and NATO customers reflects the system’s operational maturity and versatility. Machlis noted that the system addresses the evolving requirements of modern armed forces and underscores Elbit's long-term partnerships with European customers in supporting major defense modernization programs across the region.

This new award follows a busy year for PULS contracts. In April of this year, Elbit Systems won a $750 million contract to supply the systems to the Greek Armed Forces. That deal was part of a military modernization program based on an agreement between the Defense Ministry of Israel and the National Defense Ministry of Greece.

In October, the company announced another contract worth $235 million. This agreement covers the supply of EXTRA-MR rockets and PULS rocket artillery systems. While the customer was not officially named by Elbit at the time, foreign media reports identified the buyer as Azerbaijan.

With the inclusion of the new European deal, Elbit’s total rocket deals and orders since the beginning of 2026 now exceed $1.2 billion. The company has seen a surge in demand for its products as European nations seek to update their arsenals.

The PULS system has become one of Elbit’s most sought-after defense exports in Europe in recent years. The ongoing war in Ukraine has accelerated demand among NATO militaries for long-range precision fire capabilities. Several countries have already selected the system for their forces, including the Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, and Germany.

As defense budgets across the continent adjust to new security realities, Elbit positions itself as a key supplier of modern artillery solutions. The company’s ability to integrate its technology with existing platforms provides a practical advantage for nations looking to modernize without incurring excessive logistical burdens.

The latest contract highlights the growing reliance on Israeli defense technology within the NATO alliance. By securing this five-year agreement, Elbit reinforces its presence in the European market and continues to expand its portfolio of long-range fire support systems.
