Yeah, the computer can use the secondary air units but we can't (bit unfair, isn't it?). I didn't preorder the game but I noticed in one of the Atreides missions the computer (playing for the Ordos) was using Air Mines. Also, in one skirmish a friend of mine was attacked by a Harkonnen Air Defense Platform.

Someone (who knows what he is talking about) told me that there is a crack out there somewhere. He told me to search the FED2K downloads for it but I didn't find it there. Guess I'll (or we'll) just have to wait until Westwood release patch v1.08 (or something like that) to get those units :(.

You should download the rules.txt and put it in a new directory named model in the data directory

(*emperordatamodel). Then, you must open the file and search for the three units. They are named HKADP, ATADP and ORADP. Delete the line saying: Holdback= TRUE. Now you should have the units in your games. At least in single player games. I don't know about online games, since I don't have a legal version of the game. (Still trying to break into the online community)
