Not any better or worse this CIWS. It performs a different role in the defensive layers. In between NATO Sea-Sparrow and CIWS.
The video makes it seem like it is a new system, but it has been around over 30 years.
This is the latest iteration called SeaRAM. It replaces the gun from CIWS with a smaller launcher. They are on the Independence Class LCS and the Navy is starting to replace one of the CIWS mounts on DDGs with these.

Foe one thing it can kill misses carring nukes before that get in range to kill a ship, CWIS can not. The depth of it coverage also allows multiply targets to be targeted consecutively,

That is impressive. I saw it fire off two in a row, and I wonder if it can fire off like Stalin's organ.
