NASA tracks debris 10cm or larger. They also detect and statistically estimate debris as small as 3mm in LEO.
This is my source, from 2021 fwiw: https://oig.nasa.gov/office-of-inspector-general-oig/ig-21-0...

10cm is huge, that could even be a functioning 1U cubesat.
So it looks to be just the latency improvement that's noteworthy, then. Thank you!
Maybe coverage, too?
Yes. Sorry for the brief answer. Too bad I got downvoted. There's no size improvement.
It got downvoted because it had no info about why you claimed there was no improvement.
SpaceX wouldn’t waste money developing a system that had no improvement over what space force already offers.
