Abstract

Since 1994 the European Union (EU) has been pursuing a strategy aimed at enabling Europe to the development of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). In early 1999 the EU proposed a strategy with the goal to design, implement and operate its own constellation of navigation satellites within a program by the name of Galileo (in honor of Galileo Galilei, Feb. 151564 – Jan. 8.1642, Italian astronomer and physicist, founder of experimental physics and astronomy). On March 29, 1999, the EU Transport Ministers endorsed the proposed Galileo program at a meeting in Brussels. Major reasons for Europe’s decision to build its own navigation system are:

  • Current dependence on navigation systems of GPS and GLONASS that are run by military organizations without any means of international control.

  • Europe wants its own civil-controlled navigation system for political and security reasons. To be in a position to compete for a fair share in a large global navigation and communication market. The commitment to build and operate the Galileo navigation system represents a strategic, economic, and technological venture for Europe.

  • The requirement for safety-critical application services. Galileo should be able to provide a service with a certifiable performance level (which neither independent satellite navigation system can presently do) to support multimodal traffic, sufficient in particular in civil aviation, marine navigation and road transport.

The first generation GNSS-1 comprises the following elements: GPS, GLONASS and their augmentation systems [WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) of the US, EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System) or Europe, and MSAS (Multi-Transport Satellite Augmentation System) of Japan]. The three segments of GNSS-1 are expected to be operational by 2003.Google Scholar
