It's a very vulnerable military target, that is undeniable.

I think that there are valid civil uses for a system like this, with a suitable electronics payload. For example - sat with a lot of mobile telecons and emergency management infrastructure over the Olympics or World Cup - bring it in quick(ish!) overhead a disaster zone with something similar.

Not far from the projected military role, just without anybody shooting at it.
