The part of this document that you're quoting is talking about the limitations of land/sea based boost-phase interceptors. Scroll down to the Space-Based Interceptors section. I don't think there's much substance here.. It talks about kill vehicle size (see: LEAP), and mentions that coverage depends on the number of interceptors and the inclination of their orbits (no kidding.)

The section i quote referrers to space based lasers too. I also haven't see anywhere publicly on any actual space based kinetic system even in testing for BPI usuage (which would still face the same kinematic issues with land and sea based system).
