Interest, sure. And keep developing it so that we can mount an effective one on a destroyer-sized ship. Absolutely. But don't rely on a weapon system that is not yet deployable. You don't want a ship ready to launch that doesn't have a working weapons system (other than the VLS, which is fully-known and deployed tech). If it isn't capable of being mounted on a DDG, it's not useful. At least not yet.

Except the Israeli system *is* now deployed. And from the looks of the photos it can fit inside a standard container. CDR Salamander points out that the Israelis don't have the luxury to deploy untested stuff due to the constant nature of attacks...and this system can even shoot down mortar shells(!) along with the ability to shoot stuff down 10 klicks away.

Drone swarms at sea are different from the land kind as there's no terrain to hide behind.
