As you know, Anik F2 is an equatorial system that sits out at geosynchronous orbit.

The Clinton system, as defined under Secretaries of Defense William Perry and William Cohen, would depend upon the detection of ICBM launch by the use of infrared detection satellites in geosynchronous orbit; the alerting of powerful radars that would illuminate the threat cloud of warhead plus decoys, or other accompanying objects; and ground-based interceptors that would perform a hit-to-kill intercept by collision against the re-entry vehicle carrying the nuclear warhead (1545) The system would have an overall command and control and communication aspect, in order to perform not only the necessary command functions, but also to mana ...[+++]ge the difficult program of discriminating the object containing the warhead from objects that were intentional or unintentional decoys.

It was possible to put satellites up into space in geosynchronous orbits to hover over the area of interest.

IPSP will own and operate two high power telecommunications satellites to be located in geosynchronous orbit over the Atlantic ocean, the first of which was launched on 29 November last and is expected to be operational by the end of the year.
