Nemacki KMW i izraelski Elbit sa svojim Elbit Nemacka su dogovorili zajednicki razvoj i ponudu za modernizaciju postojecih kao i prosirenje kapaciteta evropskih MLRS. Koncept koji je ponudjen zove se Euro Puls a baziran je na izraelskom MLRS-Puls.
Deluje da su prepoznali momenat kao i da Amerikanci nece moci da zadovolje potrebe za tolikim brojem HIMARS-a dovoljno brzo.
Citat:Background is the modernisation and the capability extension of the European Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS / MARS II). Elbit provides a modern effector portfolio, to fully comply with the MLRS-User demands from extended range rockets to new training ammunition which will enable the user to “train as you fight” on national proving grounds.
KMW and Elbit have established the concept “Euro-PULS” for the next generation European Long Range Rocket Artillery as the successor system for the MLRS. This concept has already been offered to the first European customers. The Euro-PULS system is based on Elbit Systems’ operational and in-service Multi-Purpose Universal Launching System (PULS) and a range of precision guided munitions. KMW complements the Euro-PULS with decades of know-how as system house and vast experience in building and customizing (rocket) artillery systems complying European standards. This provides the capability to integrate every rocket according to User’s requirements. Both companies envision a local rocket production to ensure Europe’s independence.
This means a Future Rocket Artillery System made in Europe.
Yehuda (Udi) Vered, General Manager of Elbit System Land, commented: “I am confident that the Euro-PULS will provide effective and timely solution for both the operational and industrial needs of European countries. I am encouraged by the level of interest this initiative is already drawing from European and NATO countries.”
“I welcome the cooperation with Elbit. In this partnership, we see a chance to underline the potential of our artillery capabilities. The potential opportunities allow KMW to become one of the most modern system houses for rocket artillery”, comments Ralf Ketzel, Chairman of the KMW Management Board.
Postojeci sistem Puls koristi cetiri tipa kontejnera i raketa:
Dva kontejnera sa po 18 raketa tipa Accular 122 mm dometa 35 km
Dva kontejnera sa po 10 raketa tipa Accular 160 mm dometa 40 km
Dva kontejnera sa po 4 rakete tipa Extra kalibra 306 mm dometa do 150 km
Dva kontejnera sa po 2 rakete Hawk kalibra 370 mm dometa do 300 km
Holandija nabavlja PULS. Pre njih je Danska potpisala za tri baterije.

Citat:PULS
The army will have access to the Israeli PULS ( Precise and Universal Launch System ) system this year. As a result, Defense has its own rocket artillery for the first time in years. This is necessary for effective ground-based fire support, because it reaches further, has larger payloads and can reach its target faster than current fire support means. The Dutch fire support currently has armored howitzers that can shoot up to 50 kilometers away.
The research phase for the system showed that there are 2 systems that meet the Dutch requirements: the HIMARS system and the PULS system. The PULS system distinguishes itself in various areas. Compared to the American HIMARS system, it can carry more missiles. It is also possible to purchase more rockets with the budget and they are available earlier. In addition, PULS will be suitable for ammunition from European manufacturers in the future.
A partner such as Denmark is also purchasing the PULS system, while Germany is interested. This offers prospects for international cooperation in order to increase European autonomy.
Citat:At FEINDEF 2023 Escribano and Expal unveiled their plans for proposing to the Spanish Army a multiple rocket launcher made in Spain, the original project coming from Israel. The two Spanish companies teamed to propose a national version of the PULS (Precise and Universal Launching System) developed and produced by Elbit Systems.

Citat:The PULS launcher can be loaded with two canisters of missiles, not necessarily the same , which gives it a considerable flexibility, which comes also from the rockets choice. One pod can host 18 Accular 122 with a 36 km range, 10 Accular 160 with a 40 km range, four EXTRA rockets with a range of 150 km, or two Predator Hawk rockets that can reach up to 300 km.
Citat:Euro-PULS on German Army IVECO truck. It can carry 36 x Elbit Accular rockets (35 km), or 12 x HIMARS M31 rockets (84km), or 8 x for Elbit Extra (150 km) or 4 x MBDA Joint Fire Support Missile (499 km), or 4 x Elbit Predator Hawk, or 4x Kongsberg NSM (185 km). A flexible and interoperable system.
^^^ Predlazu integraciju NSM i Joint Fire Support Missile (JFS-M)
Citat:Krauss-Maffei Wegmann-Nexter Defense Systems (KNDS) is proposing that the Precise and Universal Launching System (PULS) multiple rocket launcher (MRL) be armed with Kongsberg's Naval Strike Missile (NSM). An Elbit Systems-Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) EuroPULS MRL mounted on an Iveco Trakker 8×8 chassis was displayed at KMW's site in Munich on the first day of Defence iQ's Future Artillery conference held in the Bavarian capital from 29 May to 1 June.
A KMW representative said the NSM could be used in a surface-to-surface role either against naval vessels or land targets. The NSM has a range of up to 250 km, according to KMW.
EuroPULS could also be armed with a Joint Fire Support Missile (JFS-M), a full-scale mock-up of which was displayed by MBDA Deutschland at Future Artillery 2023. The concept combines ground launchability, a long range of up to 499 km, great agility, and low observability because of low-level flight and a reduced airframe, according to MBDA Deutschland.
In addition to the NSM and JFS-M, KMW proposes as optional effectors for EuroPULS, Elbit's Accular with a range of up to 35 km, Extra with a range of up to 150 km, and Predator Hawk with a range of up to 300 km, SkyStriker loitering munitions, as well as Lockheed Martin's Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System-Extended Range (GMLRS-ER) with a range of up to 70/150 km and Diehl AT2/AT3 anti-tank mines.
Odavno smo pisali ovde da je zapadna doktrina sa HIMARS)MLRS sa praktično jednim kalibrom promašaj. Naprosto raketa 270mm je overkill za dobar deo situacija na terenu. To je sistem za gađanje pozadine. Sad pola NATO -a hoće jevrejski Grad. Ironija sudbine.
Gledajući našu Tamnavu, to je praktično ovo. Samo nam treba pod hitno završavanje razvoja Jerine 2 i bilo bi idealno Košava i dobio bi se vrhunski sistem. Imamo Grad dometa do 40km, Oganj novi do 50km, Jerina na 70-80 i Košava 150km. Naravno vlažni snovi Šumadija 300km. Svakako treba štancati lansere i ove manje kalibre koji su spremni pa kasnije uvoditi rakete većeg dometa a očigledno da i tržište posle Ukrajine traži upravo ovakav sistem.
Apsolutno ima svoje mesto u modularnom sistemu, ali je promašen kao "najmanji", da tako kažem, ili jedini kalibar. Ipak ti treba nešto jeftinije i kraćeg dometa za roštiljanje. Naročito ako nemaš štampariju rezervne svetske valute. Naš ekstendovani Grad i Oganj sa korekcijom su kao stvoreni za tu ulogu. 270mm je odličan za nivo iznad, gađanje logistike i pozadine. Tu nama treba 265mm Orkan, razrađen dalje u vidu Jerine. Da imamo to i već puna kapa. Ako bi se porodila i Košava, to bi već bio vrhunski sistem.
Sve te navođene rakete kao HIMARS su dobre kad znaš gde se neprijatelju nalaze ljudstvo, tehnika, skladošta municije i goriva problem je kad nemaš info onda je skoro i neupotrebljiva za razliku od klasične raketne artiljerije još kad dodaš malo korekciju putanje budu i preciznije.
