The fact that an entire DHARMA station was devoted to R&D against the Others meant they were working on something new, a weapon unlike anything which could be transported to the island. That means they developed something entirely new, based on their research of the island. The Smoke Monster, which has been confirmed to be unable to leave the ground, could be a type of smoke-sheathed device that is controlled via an underground tunnel. This would mesh with the clanking, winching, metal-on-metal sound it makes, as well as Rose saying it sounds familiar to her (keep in mind she lived in New York City, crisscrossed by elevated subways on *tracks*).
* I agree with this, it makes sence why else mention about the Heavy Ordinance if it served no purpose?
* We have recently seen that The Monster "lives" in the tunnels under The Temple. Considering the hieroglyphics, I would hesitate to say that anyone, (except possibly Richard and Jacob) knows where it came from.
* Good theory, but there are clear drawings of the smoke monster on the tunnel walls that obviously predate the DHARMA Initiative.
