Overview

Predator Hawk is the longest-ranged munition in Elbit Systems' PULS launcher family, sitting above the 40 km ACCULAR and the 150 km EXTRA. Elbit quotes an operational envelope of 50 to 300 km with an accuracy of less than 10 m circular error probable, effective in all weather and without reliance on supporting systems. The rocket is supersonic and highly responsive; the manufacturer states a 300 km target can be engaged in approximately eight minutes. It carries a 140 kg unitary warhead. Elbit positions the round for in-depth precision strikes against high-priority fixed targets including command and communication centres, logistics installations, transportation networks, headquarters, electronic warfare sites, radar installations and other strategic locations, and highlights minimal risk to the operating crew given the standoff involved. Rocket diameter, length and launch weight are not published on the manufacturer's product page and are therefore omitted here rather than estimated.
