Only as a desperate attempt if hypersonic missiles become resistant to lasers.
Or as a system to intercept dumb but heavy shells shot at you on ballistic trajectories.

To shot down missiles (and drones) I'd put all the money on lasers.
Right now they are cumbersome, waste half the power as heat and are fragile.
But given the potential, we are one breakthrough away from everyone else wondering: "What the fuck? Why don't WE have lasers already?"
