If it is made by Poly then I'll call it the "Silenter Hunter".

P.S. Nvmd it is made by Norinco.

Screencap of the device in action at the 1:46 mark. Looks to be an anti-drone laser.

I found more info on this laser via the Zhuhai Airshow app that allows for a virtual indoor tour. Apparently it is called the OW5 Laser Weapon System.

And an old friend has made a reappearance.

该型激光武器系统是激光研究院光电对抗领域的最新成果,具有装备化程度高、体系作战能力强、探测搜索概率高、跟踪瞄准精度优、毁伤距离远等特点;能够快速拦截“低慢小”飞行器、空地导弹、制导炸弹等多类型目标,遂行安防安保、防空反导等作战任务。

Interesting article from two years ago that somehow went under my radar. Considering that the original article was posted on the official Norinco Wechat I think it is pretty credible.

As per a segment of the article, a truck mounted laser provided drone-defense security at the 2019 National Parade. According to the descriptions, it could not only intercept low flying drones but also air to surface missiles and guided bombs. It appears to be mounted on a chassis similar to that of the OW5 showcased at Zhuhai Airshow 2021. Could the OW5 be a related development or further evolution of this design?

One other interesting tidbit is that the same team also provided security at the 2015 National Parade.

兵器工业集团北方激光研究院新研制的“某激光武器系统”承担了首都国庆庆祝活动核心区域的安保任务。这是继2015年执行阅兵安保重大任务后,激光研究院再次履行新的光荣使命。
