Not as far as I know, and it'd be a terrible idea if it was the case.
Platforms should respawn using a non-repair material. Munitions are a better option because you'd be able to stock them separately, and the platforms would just stop spawning when they were all used up. It'd make people look at cargo storage allocations more strategically.
Using repair materials would usually make platforms entirely impossible to actually get rid of, as well as allowing the base to stupidly bleed itself dry in some cases, when realistically platforms should just stop respawning after a set amount of resources are used up.
