A satellite can only stay in one location relative to the surface of the Earth if it is over the equator and only when at a certain distance. Also, what will happen when there is cloud cover?
Geosychronous orbit can keep it “in place” only when th the orbit is directly over the equator. And seeing through cloud cover with infra red or ultraviolet doesn’t work as well in real-life as it does in a fictional T.V. show. Radar can work though. And yoursuggestion of placing warning / etection devices in the area is a good one.
