Could you build this?
No Wardstone builds satellite defense hardware and space-based interceptor/sensor systems for missile defense, which entails specialized aerospace hardware, orbital dynamics, ITAR regulations, and defense contracting.
What it would actually take: The system requires space-hardened satellite buses, optical/infrared tracking sensors, low-latency crosslink communication payloads, and real-time orbital intercept trajectory calculations. The hard part is physical satellite manufacturing, space qualification testing, secure radiation-resistant embedded firmware, and navigation algorithms in contested space environments. Requires aerospace defense contractors, orbital mechanics specialists, guidance/navigation/control (GNC) engineers, and DoD security clearances.
