While I agree that object tracking is relatively cheap to implement in a newborn colony, I can't agree with defending it being trivial. Every bombing will destroy precious and rare resources, and even if you seek shelter underground, Earth could just send a stream of cheap kinetic missiles and carpet-bomb for months. Your only hope would be that Earth wanted to take over your settlement. The military would need to land, and at least you could die mounting some kind of pathetic resistance... or blow it all.
