Can a Whipple Shield be a viable method of space combat protection?

Like it says on the tin. Problem? Basic configuration is not going to work. If I used several additional layers and all the Outer and Inner layers using carbon nanotubes, whereas the Middle Layer(s) use(es) Kevlar, Titanium or Aluminium, can they still survive incoming 5 kg guided projectiles of doom composed of depleted uranium?
