I'm not quite sure what you're thinking of by "compress[ing] space", but I would think the answer's "no". Rapid armour repair would be possible, as would shields as I mentioned. Drones intercepting most weapons is usually infeasible (the ordnance will simply be moving too fast), but military drones in general are of course both possible and very useful.

Magnetic monopoles are something we haven't worked on very much, so I can't give you a quantitative answer. At any rate, unless you're producing a huge surplus, they'd be more useful elsewhere (e.g. added to plasma to catalyse proton decay, increasing its efficiency either as fusion fuel or as a weapon; used for artificial gravity, inertia dampers, or gravitomagnetic launchers of relativistic weapons; used to create structures which require materials with high tensile strength...).
