It does not as the same detection problem precludes meaningful statistical modeling (we do not have enough objects that can detect and report hits, and we would create too much debris collecting that data.)
If there were any dangers obvious enough to detect from here, that destructive, we already wouldn’t be using that point since the mission is expensive and long-lasting enough that a statistical approach to protection would fail too quickly. (The suggestion made me think of “gun kata” in Wimmer’s Equilibrium which had the same problem, given the performance ratios stated in the opening monologue.)
