Never heard of an OTH missile system But an OTH surveillance radar certainly 
uses longer waves than centimetric radar. The point I questioned was how 
"nanotech" (or any other "tech") can reduce the size of a phased array 
to give the same performance at the same frequency. 
If it can be done, I'd love to know - it would make my fortune!!
