Why is that thing in the artillery section? Isn't a Grad a wheeled truck with an MLRS on the back?

While I've no idea why it's been given the name FDDM MRL Grad (FC) (FDDM stands for fire-direction data manager, so that part kinda makes sense - though AVRC is probably a better vehicle designation), it does make sense for it to be in the artillery section:

The actual vehicle is some variant of the 1V12 series, which are command, control and fire-direction vehicles for artillery batteries. It's not specifically for the Grad and it can at least work with Soviet/Russian self-propelled 122 mm and 152 mm howitzers.

In DCS it shortens the time it takes for artillery to fire (which is a gameified feature whereby artillery will train appropriately, but won't fire until a delay has elapsed - the vehicle shortens said delay).

 

And you're right - the Grad is an MLRS, in DCS we have the BM-21-1 Grad, which is a 40 barreled, 122 mm MLRS mounted on a Ural-4320 truck.
