ABSTRACT

In Europe, satellite navigation policy aims at providing the European Union (EU) with two satellite navigations systems: GALILEO and EGNOS. GALILEO will establish and operate the first GNSS for civilian use, primarily to contribute to EU’s strategic autonomy. EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) improves in the European region the open signals from existing GNSS and is intended to also augment GALILEO.
