Sensors are well suited to deployment on highly-proliferated satellite platforms like singlet space-based interceptors (SBIs). Proliferated radars could achieve useful search rates. The simplest could be little more than altimeters that looked directly below to provide a continuous fence against low-flying aircraft. Mounting them on the SBI lifejackets should be inexpensive. Bus watching is a rough alternative to discrimination. Proliferation could allow multiple sensors to observe buses above the horizon at close ranges. 9 refs.
