There is speculation and some evidence along those lines in the book
_Blank Spots on the Map_ by Trevor Paglen.  No evidence (they weren't
in orbit, after all) but the logic makes sense.

To the best of my knowledge (which is about six months out of date),
satellite swarms that would act in a similar fashion to what is
described above are still in their infancy.  I do not believe any have
been launched yet (if I did, I probably wouldn't be able to posts to
mailing lists like this...)
