Didn't the Pentagon give SpaceX a bunch of money a while back? Any chance this was developed alongside, or as a component of, military applications?

Getting 30,000 new eyes in the sky actively monitoring objects in orbit seems pretty appealing if that's your theater...

How does this compare in scope and quality to traditional tracking networks (ground or space based)?
