Satellite communication system's detection

In recent asymmetric warfare satellite communication systems play more and more important role in remote control of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED). Such systems are primarily used in environment where other communication technologies have either limited or no coverage in particular area. First stage in effective suppression of such systems misusage is possibility to monitor and in case of need cease down unacceptable communication. Paper deals with analysis of Thuraya communication system. The goal of paper is to present results of system analysis in terms of its configuration, time and frequency signal parameters. Base on achieved results the possible method on how to block IED triggering is outlined.
