Cheaper launches gives defence new use cases too. They'll start to launch smaller satellites into more orbits. It'll take time to change their processes, but they'll be launching small/cube/chip sats with all sorts of sensors.

True but the DoD has a very long planning horizon. So it will take time for them to react.
