Yeah there are some practical applications but I just don't see fleets of these things being developed or deployed... Most "combat" now is close-quarters urban type warfare against very difficult targets and there is considerable pressure on most operations to avoid ANY collateral damage. Therefore more surgical/precision munitions are relied upon, but as you know those are very, very expensive - and they don't always work either. Yes, the military now can be a lot more surgical than years past but if they surgically hit the wrong target, the casualties are still just as dead and the enemy is still going to use it in the propaganda war...
