I often wonder what replaced the early ASAT weapons carried by F-15 and similar. They were quietly dropped, no doubt to appease someone, but far too useful to just go away.

Pegasus launch system is active. It's last (listed) use was in June 2013. Another Pegasus launch is scheduled for October 2016.

Perhaps this system was determined to be a cheaper COTS solution to the ASAT problem.

That ASAT missile was a test prototype and technology demonstrator, not a deployed system. A few years ago, US Navy shot down a malfunctioning satellite using a deployed SM-3 missile from a cruiser. I believe they made some minor software tweaks, to alter its range-gate.
