Predator Hawk precision rocket

  • Predator Hawk tactical ballistic missile
  • Predator Hawk long-range rocket

Predator Hawk is an Israeli long-range precision rocket in the Elbit Systems Land rocket portfolio for PULS-family modular launchers. Public Elbit material identifies it as the two-round, 50-300 km PULS loadout with a 140 kg unitary warhead and sub-10 m CEP accuracy, making it the family's deepest-strike rocket option without separately documented conflict use.

Relationship-Only Scope

Lahav/PULS combat reports identify Romach/ACCULAR and Bar/EXTRA launches in Gaza and Lebanon. The cited sources do not directly identify a Predator Hawk firing, so conflict-use rows are not assigned to this munition.

Launch Platforms

Predator Hawk is documented as the deepest-range rocket load in Elbit's public PULS-family launcher material.

Elbit's PULS page lists Predator Hawk as the two-round pod option with a range of up to 300 km, tying the rocket to the PULS/Lahav launcher family while leaving the rocket without an independent conflict-use row.

Why the two-round pod matters

In the public PULS loadout set, increasing range also reduces pod capacity: Predator Hawk trades salvo density for a 300 km strike envelope.

Rocket And Launcher Context

Predator Hawk is best read as the long-range end of the PULS rocket family rather than as a standalone battlefield record. Public sources support its range, payload, and launcher fit, but they do not directly document Predator Hawk itself being fired in a named conflict.

TopicSourced detailOperational context
Range bandElbit lists a 50-300 km operating range for Predator Hawk.It fills the deep-strike slot above the EXTRA/Bar rocket in the PULS family.
PayloadElbit lists a 140 kg unitary warhead and less than 10 m CEP accuracy.It is a precision surface-to-surface munition, not an area-fire rocket.
Pod loadThe PULS launcher page lists two Predator Hawk rockets per pod.Compatibility with Lahav/PULS is sourced separately from any claim of combat firing.
Export contextGreek reporting named Predator Hawk in the planned EURO PULS ammunition mix, and Elbit later announced a Hellenic PULS contract with guided rockets across multiple ranges.Procurement reporting supports customer interest, not operational use.

Shavyrin and built for infantry fire support. Its large bomb, two-wheel transport arrangement, and roughly 5.7 km range made it a durable regimental mortar design; OSCE monitoring documented PM-38 mortars in Donbas heavy-weapons holding and storage records during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, while Oryx listed M-1938 heavy mortars in Yemen's pre-war army inventory.
