Is the cost per shot even relevant if you don't include value of the saved property?

That cost per shot is just the energy utilized by the C2 targeting and laser system. I have no idea what the overall cost of the system is. I have not yet found it published. I would wager the overall system is rather expensive but worth it to the point of using expensive ballistics to neutralize a 40k drone which is at risk of being overwhelmed.
I also can't find the accurate time to target stats, just overall dwell time.
