> Anyone know how .mil aircraft would interpret being tracked by a 6 GHz radar build by a civilian(yes I am aware that his estimated max distance is 1200m, assume he increased that by a factor of 10 with larger antennas or something)?

Regulations for signal strength are ERP, so a more directional antenna could make it no longer legal to use the 6GHz band.

I doubt anyone intentionally tracking military aircraft is gonna be too worried by ISM radio band regulations.

(They're either the kind of idiot who aims laser pointers at police helicopters, or they're doing it with intent to get in much more serious trouble than just ignoring radio regulations...)
