>>>Can we jam then from launch? Can CIWS deal with multiple fast-moving targets?<<<

I think CIWS is not any effective against supersonic missiles.
It may only be useful against aircraft or slow Tomahawk-style targets.

The Phalanx CIWS has been continually upgraded since the late 1980s to protect against increasingly faster and more maneuverable supersonic missile threats.
