The Project has limited personnel, limited resources, and limited storage/transport capability. Artillery requires abundant personnel, abundant resources, and abundant storage/transport capability. The trend in Project weapons should be towards precision as much as possible, and away from "area suppression". MLRS is a particularly bad idea, a weapon that requires a dedicated vehicle and fires an entire truckload of ammunition at once.
If the Project needs to fight a large army, it needs to do so by identifying and eliminating key elements with precision munitions, not blanketing a region with mostly-wasted dumb munitions.
