Danish Army Conducts First Firing of Israeli PULS Artillery System

Denmark has tested the Precise & Universal Launching System (PULS), on Danish soil for the first time, today.

The test occurred at 10:05 AM at the Oksbøl Shooting and Training Range, where the PULS system fired its first rocket approximately 10 kilometers into the North Sea. The rocket, which was non-explosive, landed as planned, the ministry said in an official release.

Months of preparation and training preceded today's launch, marking the culmination of efforts since the arrival of the first PULS systems in Denmark about a year ago. Danish Army soldiers and technicians from the Ministry of Defence's Material and Procurement Agency (FMI) collaborated closely with Elbit Systems, the system's supplier, to integrate and train with the PULS system.

The test firings, conducted throughout the day, also served to measure noise levels and smoke emissions generated by the PULS system.

Lieutenant Colonel Henrik Hvilsom from FMI said the rockets were fired just nine days after their arrival in Denmark.
