Systems such as Phalanx CISW with fully automatic mode have been available for ages Phalanx doesn't work tho' :-) In 1991 Iraqi forces launched a Silkworm missile against USS Missouri. The ship launched decoys... and its Phalanx guns promptly targeted those decoys. Fortunately there was a Royal Navy ship, HMS Gloucester, in the vicinity which dealt with the problem with a good British weapon, the Sea Dart missile. This was the first real "drone on drone" combat, if you will.
