Elbit Systems Germany will showcase a range of its systems at the RU.NET 2024 exhibition, taking place this week in Koblenz, Germany, with a primary focus on the Euro-PULS rocket artillery system.
According to Elbit Germany, this advanced system, developed in collaboration with the KNDS company, is intended to replace older systems that were transferred to Ukraine and can be delivered to units quickly. The German website esut.de reports that in 2022, the German army transferred five MARS II multiple rocket launcher systems to Ukraine. Due to technical issues with replacing the MARS systems, the German army has decided to purchase an equivalent number of Euro-PULS systems from Elbit. This procurement, conducted jointly with the Netherlands, has faced several delays, but a €25 million offer for the five systems is expected to be finalized this year.
In addition to the Euro-PULS system, Elbit will feature the micro drone IRIS at the RU.NET exhibition. Designed for covert reconnaissance missions at short ranges, the IRIS drone provides extended reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities despite its small size, operating for several hours both day and night. The Micro-UAV IRIS is currently used by a German police special unit and may also attract interest from the German armed forces.
