They have kept it funded in the FY16 budget, and it should live in the FY17 budget as well. The sensors are priceless, especially the combination of a surveillance and X-band radar. Secondly, the IBCS is still tasked with integrated JLENS capability further down the road which will be incredible important for OTH targeting. The sensors will be extremely expensive to mount on another platform, and the surveillance radar will be virtually impossible particularly for a platform that has persistence.While defending fixed sites you can also protect by forward-deploying large number of affordable interceptors for terminal destruction of cruise missiles etc. Ultimately, the threat for those sites is a huge raid from TBM's since if it ever escalates there should be air-air capability to provide defense as well.Depends upon the weapon, and how it is delivered. Its just not the cost of the shot, but the cost-to get the shot off at a time of war. As the Stunner has shown, you can go fairly low if your aim is to develop cruise missile and anti-air capability at an affordable interceptor cost.
