I doubt that.

With high speed, direction towards the ship and carrying huge momentum with it, if the missile exploded then I am almost certain that the shrapnel will mainly go towards the ship general direction due to retaining the previous momentum from the missile

Of course this depends on how close and in what angle to the missile the intercepter managed to get before destroying it.

General rule is that the closer the intercepter came to the missile, the more the missile momentum (force) will be cancelled out and redirected

Imagine if there are specialized defence ships placed in the periphery of a battle group that are tasked to intercept missiles with like 6 CIWS per ship and many short range missiles, I wonder if that would be better than having a fleet with only generic purpose ships?

Kirov class fills the bill, once its expended all its S300 and Granit missiles.

So do we know in what platform this is going to be installed? Or is this for future platforms in mind?

It would have a significant increase of weight over the Type 1130, which is already a heavier turret than the 730. I can't see this on a small ship, like a frigate. But a large ship___
