This is one solution that’s already being tested on Navy destroyers as a close in weapons system against drones, boats, jets and missiles: https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/43795/navy-is-betting-big-on-high-power-microwave-weapons

The nice thing about this solution is it’s much cheaper than kinetic weapons and it can cover a wide area cone to get multiple targets at once. Another advantage: the microwave beam travels at light speed so it cannot be dodged.
