Very big, very slow, target for military applications isn't it? I guess that depends on the operational ceiling of Manpads etc in any given theatre.
AFAIK it was intended for second line support or high altitude offset battlefield comms/intel link. Keep it in friendly neighboring airspace with a synthetic aperture array on the side.

Irrelevant really as it never survived the spending review.
