You are aware that satellite guided surface to air missile systems are not a mere git clone away? There are good reasons for controlling weapons, while still letting everybody be free to study them.

No one is talking about a satellite guided surface to air missile system.

  A weapon is a weapon.

      Congratulations, we’ve mapped the space of possible harm from mild discomfort to death.

What's the idea behind a satellite guided surface to air missile system? The ground station detects the target with radar, derives a set of GPS coordinates for an intercept, transmits those coordinates to the missile, and the missile guides itself to them via GPS receiver? Seems suboptimal.

  Something like that. It’s really only useful when you have to intercept at really long distances, as in ballistic missile defense.
