Airburst glitter?

This got me thinking... If directional lasers are being used for comms from an
FO (bounced off of satellites, cloud cover or blitzed down a
string of LOS repeaters) would it be a viable tactic to air-burst some
kind of refractive glitter or fog to reveal the positions of the
repeater-chain or even the FOs to a scanning satellite or high-altitude
flyer? Is this already covered in the rules or would something have to
be developed for it if you wanted it as a valid tactic/countertactic in
your game?

who's slightly poor for all the hobbies he has.)

I think it's plausible as a PSB, but instead of making specific mechanics for
it, I'd just fold it into the firecon ability of a unit doing an active search
(A superior FC vehicle has more options for defeating enemy stealth, airburst
"glitter" could possibly be ONE of those options).
