MKE recent footage of development of 20x102mm six-barrel Gatling-type rotary cannon CIWS system, without radar and fcr. It's fair to say it's near identical to 20mm Mk-15 Phalanx.

Ground tests are expected to be completed in 2022, followed by tests and Combat Management System integration on the warship. Its maximum range will be 2km for air targets and 2.5km for surface targets. “

I believe ONDER Defence is working with MKE to provide E/O, search radar and tracking radar... for 20mm CIWS

Beside the thermobaric warhead, the silver oxide battery is what is interesting for me personally, as I understand that's the type of battery which was used at the start of the last century and I hope these kind of batteries will have more use in other areas like EV.... The current lithium ion batteries have some nasty effects (can't be extinguish with normal means)

- Silver-oxide battery with claimed range of 100km

Do we know if it's a Silver-Zinc or a Silver-Aluminium battery ?
I'm assuming it's the latter since you said silver-oxide

I remember a DCNS presentation on the F21 torpedo in which they heavily insisted on the advantages of AgO-Al batteries compared to Ag-Zn ones.

Can't find any DCNS documents right now but here is a SAFT (TotalEnergies) document on torpedo batteries :
