The document discusses various satellite communication systems including Iridium, Globalstar, Thuraya, and Inmarsat. It then describes the capabilities of Delma MSS's tactical and strategic satellite intercept systems for monitoring Thuraya, Inmarsat, and Iridium communications. The tactical system can intercept calls from up to 16 channels simultaneously while the strategic system can handle 32 channels. Both systems provide location and call content information.
