Take a look at the BaE rapier..
something along those lines perhaps..?
Rapier same as any other missile is totally radar based.My hypothetical system is a hybrid..Visual +Radar
New Recruit
First idea...
Radar Decoy missiles..
New Recruit
Anti stealth....
Stealth is stealth for radar waves but not for visible light...What if we can devise a way of visually detecting and tracking planes?
Atmospheric interference due to moisture,dust and clouds can be a hurdle.
My version of Anti stealth :
24/7 surveillance of borders, important assets , airfeilds(enemy) by a Spy satellite.
and as any threat is detecte it can be neutralize using different tactics
like:
1. scrambling jets
2. hypersonic anti aircraft missiles
3. satellite LASER defence system (BTW rumor is US is developing such defence system)

One old option (WW2) which might see new life with modern technology is acoustic detection. A pair of mechanical "ears" are mounted and spaced widely, and their azimuth and elevation (when they detect jet noise) can at least give a rough location of almost any airframe.
There are plenty of problems, but I think the potential is there.
Acoustic Listening Devices

I know this looks goofy, but replace the man with high-speed computers, the horns with modern sound-collection devices, and servo-activated directional systems.
Unfortunately, with supersonic aircraft, they'd be past you before you heard anything! But they might be able to detect a subsonic gaggle of strikers getting ready for a push.
