The press release talks mostly about sensors and software integration.
It also mentions end-effector systems, Andruil's Anvil system[0], and Rheinmetall's "high-power guns", which I guess refers to Skynex[1].
The public demo videos[2] for Skynex aren't particularly impressive, they shoot down some high flying stationary drones.
Skynex is a huge 35mm cannon, that seems expensive and overkill for the C-sUAS role.
I'm surprised we aren't seeing smaller automated anti drone turrets, that can be deployed close to fighting positions, shooting either a small airburst grenade, like the 20mm round from the OICW program[3], or some kind of flak/shotgun round.
