Seems to me like this was (still is?) being worked on as a backup/supplement to Iron Dome:

From the patent, it looks like the mobile launcher vehicle is designed to be easily disguisable/relatively inconspicuous.

It might not have the raw firepower of the UAE's Jobaria system, but it could be more practical for C-RAM support/urban based counterbattery.

I'm not an expert but taking a minute to launch all those missiles is not so good . if you need to shoot and scoot how long does it take for counterbattery fire to arrive. Looking at the only time to distance information I could find ( wiki article on the G-5 artillery) if theirs a battery of 155 nearby as in around 18 km your going to have counter battery before you finish firing . What little info I can find ( please remember i'm a civilian with an interest not any actual first hand knowledge ) seems to indicate that MLRS takes 4 mins to fire at the target hence why I've referred to the 155 as the counter battery weapon .
