I'm surprised we aren't seeing these on ships, since those already have huge amounts of electricity available to potentially power them and already have point defense systems based on guns. Or maybe gun based systems work fine, but can't be used on land since 20mm gunfire that goes up is going to come down somewhere, and is much more likely to come down somewhere bad on land then on sea.
