Elbit Systems has been awarded a contract worth approximately $750 million to supply PULS rocket artillery systems to the Hellenic Armed Forces. The agreement is part of a broader arrangement between the Israeli and Greek ministries of defence.

 

The contract will be carried out over four years and includes a ten-year follow-on support period. Officials said the program is intended to enhance Greece’s artillery capabilities with advanced and flexible systems.

Under the agreement, Elbit Systems will provide PULS launchers along with a comprehensive package of munitions. This includes training rockets, precision-guided rockets for various ranges and loitering munitions.

The PULS system is designed to deliver a cost-effective and adaptable solution for modern artillery operations. It can launch unguided rockets, precision-guided munitions and missiles from a single platform.



The system is also compatible with existing wheeled and tracked vehicles. This adaptability is expected to reduce maintenance and training requirements for operators.

The project will involve cooperation with Greek industry in line with government policy. This includes technology transfer and sharing of technical expertise to support local production.

“Elbit Systems has a longstanding and successful cooperation with the Hellenic Ministry of National Defence, and this project further strengthens that relationship,” said Bezhalel Machlis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Elbit Systems. “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 honored by the continued confidence shown in our advanced systems.”

The agreement reflects continued collaboration between Israel and Greece in defence technology. Officials said the contract also highlights increasing demand for advanced artillery systems among NATO countries.
