The ABL is designed to estroy missiles inside the atmosphere at ranges up to 400 miles. How far away for a satellite? Or an aircraft? Ship? Human?

Spy satellites do fly within 400 miles of the earth... the ABL should have a long ranger when it's pointed upward - less atmosphere.

It's going to be fun. :)

Since Korea is a peninsula, I don't think this should be a problem. Iran might present reach problems right now...
