Elbit’s PULS-Based D11A Rocket Launcher
The Defense Technology Institute (DTI) of Thailand delivered the prototype of the D11A Multi-Purpose Multiple Rocket Launcher Vehicle, based on the Israeli Elbit Systems' PULS system. According to the Thai Defense-studies blog, the system was officially handed over to the 711th Artillery Battalion, 71st Artillery Regiment, 71st Artillery Division, Royal Thai Army, in a ceremony presided over by Thai Minister of Defense, Mr. Sutin Khlangsaeng.
The D11A Multi-Purpose Multiple Launch Rocket System (MPS) is a Thai-developed version of the PULS (Precise and Universal Launching System) from Israeli company Elbit Systems. It features two modular launchers mounted on a 10-tonne Tatra 6x6 truck chassis from the Czech Republic.
The D11A can quickly change rocket pods in under 10 minutes and supports rocket firing with a maximum range from 40 km to 300 km. It accommodates unguided 122mm rockets, such as the Russian GRAD, the Thai-developed DTI-2 rocket, and Chinese SHE-30 and SHE-40 rockets. The system is also compatible with the Chinese SR4 multi-barrel rockets already in service with the Royal Thai Army.
Additionally, the D11A can fire 306mm EXTRA guided missiles with an effective range of 150 km (4 rounds per set, with two pods totaling 8 rounds) and 370mm Predator Hawk guided missiles with an effective range of 300 km (2 rounds per set, with two pods totaling 4 rounds). Elbit Systems has also offered the SkyStriker autonomous loitering munition, which can be launched from the D11A.
