Not much that hasn't been shown in articles on
Janes website or in their periodicals.

Rocket artillery is pretty standard. What makes
MLRS nice is the precision of manufacture of the
rockets and warheads, the ICM payload, and the
system that calculates where they'll land given
all sorts of variables. All that is much harder
to duplicate with out very precise quality
control, something "the enemy" has a real problem
with.
