<<And so, more missiles will get built at 1/3 to ¼ the generally accepted world cost, with 1980s rocketry and avionic technologies, supplemented by the occasional internet enabled nuggets of data.>>

How about 1/10 of world cost. I read sometimes ago that nanosattelites are 1/50 (that's not a mistake one FIFTIETH or 2% TWO PERCENT) the cost of standard ones.

Not sure what it can do, but I surmise it can wreak havoc on the circuitry of hostile satelites and cause them to turn them back to their origins. That reminds me of this song:

I gave a letter to the postman,
he put it his sack.
But in early next morning,
he brought my letter back.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.

So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D.
But in early next morning
it came right back to me.

She wrote upon it:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.

This time I'm gonna take it myself
and put it right in her hand.
And if it comes back the very next day
then I'll understand the writing on it

Return to sender, address unknown.
No such person, no such zone.
