Looks to be a ship based weapon. Any info on wattage and role (in addition to anti-drone).
Based on what I’ve seen in the video footage the wattage is at the very least in the tens of kilowatts range, which is impressive for a compact device that could be mounted on a small vehicle.
Second video is similar to the laser Stryker concept developed by US Army.
Turkish electronic warfare timeline projects presented by the head of the radar and electronic warfare department of the presidency of the Turkish defense industry (SSB) during the Istanbul University defense technology days (ITU SAVTEK) on the 24th and 25th of March this year.
Next year (2022) the goal is to have electronic warfare command control and coordination system of the land forces command, EHKKKS ready. See:
The goal in 2024 is the establishment of joint electronic warfare data fusion infrastructure in the form of a joint electronic warfare control coordination system, MEHKKS, integrating the electronic warfare systems of the various branches of the Turkish armed forces (air, land and sea).

KARAOK anti-tank missile enters inventory
ROKETSAN General Manager Murat İkinci answered NTV reporter Özden Erkuş's questions on NTV live broadcast.
In the interview, it was shared that the development phase of the KARAOK anti-tank gun was completed and that it will be in the TSK inventory by the end of 2021.
KARAOK, a Short Range Horse-Forget Type Anti-Tank Weapon Used by a Single Personnel, is a portable missile system that can operate day / night thanks to the infrared imager seeker on it. KARAOK; It can be used to stop, delay, channel and destroy threats at short range in air assault, airborne and amphibious operations.
KARAOK, whose weight is less than 16 kg, is 110 cm long and has an aligned cross-shaped wing and rear wing structure. The missile was equipped with a tandem (sequential) warhead (weight not disclosed) and a new and indigenously developed hybrid-double-stage (launch, flight) rocket engine (weight not disclosed) designed to deliver firing from a confined space. Shooting modes; It includes locking before shooting, locking after shooting, throw-forget, overhead or direct hit capability.
KARAOK made its first guided shot
As we reported on May 7, 2021, the KARAOK Anti-Tank Missile, which was delivered from ASELSAN to ROKETSAN, using the Infrared Seeker Head, hit the target in the first guided test missile launch.
In the product catalog previously published by ROKETSAN, the range of KARAOK was specified as 1000 meters. It was shared that the range of KARAOK, whose development work continues, was increased to 2500 meters in the catalog published in January 2021.

2021 is turning out to be a gigantic year for Turkish Defence Industry. Most of the projects i was looking at with interest are showing results.
1. Kuzgun
2. Karaok
3. The Bozdogan and Gokdogan BVR/WVR Missiles
4. Ozgur F-16 modernization
5. Batu Engine and Altay MBT
6. TS-1400
7. Domestic VLS
8. Aksungur
9. Siper, G40 and Hisar follow-ons
I'm sure i forgot some more, but this is an impressive list of achievements. Personally i'd like to see Turkey put more focus on its semiconductor industry. I sense the US/EU placing a similar tech embargo on Turkey in the future as has been placed on China right now.
