This study investigates Europes motives to develop the independent satellite navigation system known as Galileo despite the existence of Americas successful global positioning system (GPS). It begins by analyzing both systems to familiarize the reader with global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and to provide an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of GPS and Galileo, as well as the systems similarities and differences. Although the two systems have different founding principles, they employ similar infrastructures and operational concepts. In the short term, Galileo will provide better accuracy for civilian users until GPS upgrades take effect. But performance is only part of the rationale. The author contends that Europes pursuit of Galileo is driven by a combination of reasons, including performance, independence, and economic incentive.
