Space Debris
It occurred to me only today, while studying from Kenneth Krane’s Introductory Nuclear Physics, that it would take pulsed magnetic fields to focus gravitons on space debris or an enemy satellite. The way magnetic field lines fan out from a pole of a dipole magnet would make the concept otherwise unworkable. Since protons in the CERN LHC travel very close to the speed of light, that part of the technology would already be available. There is no cross product in this case, apart from creating the magnetic field pulses. As far as aiming and tracking accurately and effectively from the ground, one in my position can only guess that this technology is available also.
