Tom appears to be experiencing delusions of persecution, which is a type of delusional disorder characterized by the belief that one is being oppressed, harassed, or conspired against by a person or group of people, often without any evidence to support this belief. The belief that satellites are tracking his every move and reporting back to the CIA is a classic example of this type of delusion.
