Why isn't my AI using missiles to defend against other attacking missiles?

I've tried everything, but my AI isn't using missiles to intercept/launch attacking missiles; it's only using turret guns.

Well, who knows, I think you need to include more context into your report.

What I mean is that when there is a missile attack—for example, anti-ship missiles or cruise missiles—AI will never use its existing anti-air missiles to intercept the incoming anti ship missile threats. Instead, it only relies on CIWS systems like Phalanx, which have a very short engagement range.

Do you have the "engage missile" option enabled in your engage options of your missiles?
