I thought the entire point of the primitive MRLS (such as used in WWII)
systems is that they're easier to make than tube artillery. They don't
need
the specialised foundries and work with much lower tolerances - at the
basic
level they are simply advanced firework rockets with a warhead attached.
Should be fairly easy for a low-tech planet to build them and fit them
to
farming or construction vehicles. Heck, it might even be part of the
standard
local militia training.
