The ATMOS modular artillery system is a combat-proven wheeled self-propelled howitzer solution, capable of firing all NATO-certified 155mm projectiles. It has an effective range of over 40km with standard projectiles and offers an extended range with Rocket-Assisted Projectiles (RAP).
Elbit Systems' PULS launcher can fire free-flying rockets and precision-guided rockets as well as missiles at ranges from 12km up to 300km. The PULS launcher is fully adaptable to existing wheeled and tracked platforms, enabling a significant reduction in maintenance and training costs.
Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, said: "We are witnessing a trajectory of increased demand for advanced artillery solutions from militaries around the world, including European countries and NATO members as part of their efforts to increase the effectiveness of their armed forces. Our operationally proven systems provide an advanced cost-effective solution to meet that demand."
