Download or read book GPS versus Galileo: Balancing for Position in Space written by Scott W. Beidleman and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-08-12 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates Europe's motives to develop the independent satellite navigation system known as Galileo despite the existence of America's successful global positioning system (GPS). The author contends that Europe's pursuit of Galileo is driven by a combination of reasons, including performance, independence, and economic incentive. With Galileo, Europe hopes to achieve political, security, and technological independence from the United States. Additionally, Europe envisions overcoming the US monopoly on GNSS by seizing a sizable share of the expanding GNSS market and setting a new world standard for satellite navigation. Finally, the author explores Galileo's impact on the United States and reviews US policy towards Galileo. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen the competitiveness of GPS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation covers the period 2014-2016, focusing on the implementation of the GNSS and GSA regulations, which entered into force respectively in December 2013 and April 2014. The evaluation covers the progress made at the level of space and ground segments deployment, system operations, services provision and downstream market development against four evaluation criteria (effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, EU Added Value), as well as a specific evaluation of the GSA performance. Both programmes have achieved the major milestones set for the evaluation period (e.g. declaration of initial services and utilisation of Ariane V launcher for Galileo and declaration of LPV-200 services level for EGNOS) with no budget overruns. Flags have been raised concerning the implementation of the security requirements for both programmes, and the non-optimal arrangement of the governance with the three main actors operating out of their comfort zone. GSA has achieved important objectives for the progress of the European GNSS, with both the EC and EU Member States sharing a positive opinion on its results. Nevertheless, the Agency faces some issues, in particular related to its difficulty to hire appropriate profiles in terms of seniority and expertise.

Book excerpt: In 1633 the Roman Catholic Church declared Galileo Galilei a heretic because his beliefs conflicted with the status quo.1 Almost four centuries later, Europeans have christened their proposed global navigation satellite system (GNSS) with the independent thinker's name, a not so subtle challenge to the status quo dominated by America's global positioning system (GPS). Considering that GPS has become a global public good, an international utility paid for by the United States and free for use by anyone, and that most of Western Europe has been a staunch American ally since World War II, Europe's pursuit of the Galileo GNSS approaches heresy from an American perspective. Europe has broken ranks and is acquiring an independent space capability in a way that seems sure to conflict with American national interests. In the post-Cold War environment, Europe has increasingly shown a desire to act independently of the United States to enhance its prestige and sovereignty. Despite long-standing cooperation agreements such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Europe has pursued its own security initiatives, including the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) and the Rapid Reaction Force.2 In this context, Galileo not only could strengthen European military independence, but also could bolster the European space program-adding credibility and prestige to Europe's effort to grow as a world power. Additionally, Galileo could challenge the US monopoly in the GNSS market and compete for its lucrative applications (air traffic control, shipping, etc.). This effort is not unprecedented- similar attempts to introduce pan-European competition in the past include the development of Airbus aircraft and Ariane launch boosters. Those efforts were seen as crucial to maintaining Europe's place in military matters and the most lucrative world markets. Competition with GPS is a challenge at least on par with these previous ventures and could prove even more rewarding. Over the past quarter century, GPS has established itself as the world's standard for position, velocity, and timing information, providing a free, continuous, and all-weather navigation service to the entire planet. With innumerable applications such as guiding precision munitions, synchronizing the Internet, or locating a seafood restaurant in an unfamiliar city, GPS has become embedded in global society. Moreover, the United States openly shares technical details of the system's signal structure. Public documents specify the format of various data streams emanating from the satellites-data streams a receiver must recognize and decode to operate navigation and synchronization applications properly.3 In this way, the United States provides key information enabling all interested parties to prosper by developing and marketing their own versions of GPS receivers. Finally, GPS is backed by the US government and operated by the US Air Force; clearly, the system's host is an extremely stable and competent authority. Consequently, a puzzle arises: why is Europe pursuing the development of Galileo when a global space-based radio navigation system already exists that is free to all? Despite the high costs of developing and deploying its own redundant system, Europe is pressing ahead. From this action, follow-on questions emerge. Does GPS have deficiencies that Galileo will fix or improve? Are there motives that have not yet been made public? What are the implications of the proposed Galileo system for the United States? How should the United States respond? To address these questions, I examined technical design documents, publications, and discourse from the European Union (EU) and the European Space Agency (ESA); various periodicals; and newspapers. I conducted my research in the midst of ongoing negotiations between the United States and the EU as they attempted to forge a cooperative agreement ensuring compatibility and interoperability between Galileo and GPS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973, the U.S. Department of Defense invested $12 billion to develop a space-based navigation system known as the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS provides free navigation and timing signals to worldwide users. Although GPS was originally developed as a military system, during the last decade the GPS industry has exploded with new applications in transportation, mapping, and time synchronization, thus becoming the newest "global utility." GPS is the dominant player in the Global Navigation Satellite System market, which is expected to reach $50 billion by 2010. Driven by the success of GPS and the huge satellite navigation market potential, the European Union is planning on developing its own satellite system, called Galileo. Galileo will be under civil control and its performance will be similar to a modernized GPS, however, Galileo users will have to pay a fee for its premium service. The deployment of Galileo raises several military and commercial concerns that could affect U.S. national interests. Before Galileo becomes operational, United States representatives and their European counterparts must resolve many issues such as signal allocation, protection from unauthorized use of the signal, regulatory restrictions, and interoperability of the two systems.

Download or read book GPS & Galileo. Friendly Foes?. written by Roftiel Constantine and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union's global navigation satellite system, Galileo, poses concern for the United States Global Positioning System. Areas of exploration include a brief history of satellite navigation and the Global Positioning System program, followed by an in-depth overview of the Galileo system, highlighting its multifaceted justification, expected economic benefits and revenue streams, and its four-year frequency battle with the Global Positioning System. Critical to this discussion is understanding Galileo as an expression of European sovereignty and the United States corresponding reaction, the importance of the significant international interest in and cooperation with Galileo, and the strategic implications of China's evolving satellite navigation system. Five distinct actions by the United States government are necessary to protect its industrial, military, and national security interests: acknowledge the existing situation; ensure fair competition for satellite navigation hardware manufacturers; compel allied militaries to adopt GPS now; drive home the fact that, counter to European claims, the availability and precision of GPS will be on par with or better than Galileo; and secure China's cooperation in satellite navigation.

Download or read book The End of European Security Institutions? written by Benjamin Zyla and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses Brexit’s implications for the two most important security institutions in Europe, the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). While Brexit is still unfolding, this book asks what it would mean for the future embedding of the UK into CFSP and NATO, as well as how it will most likely affect the inner mechanics of the transatlantic alliance (NATO) and CFSP in particular, in the years to come. The book is divided into two parts. Part I provides a historical overview of the evolution of the relationships between the UK and NATO and the EU, respectively. Part II discusses the geopolitical contexts and potential impacts of Brexit, focusing on the contemporary security environment, as well as the options that the EU has, in the event an agreement is concluded. Using both predictive and normative arguments, this book provides likely scenarios for an event that continues to be a source of much uncertainty for the global community. Making an important contribution to one of the most important policy debates in international security affairs today, this book is of interest to students and researchers of international security affairs, European politics, and global governance as well as policymakers and practitioners working on the Brexit file.

Download or read book China, Europe and International Security written by Frans-Paul van der Putten and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the roles played by China and Europe in the domain of international security in the 21st century. Bringing together Chinese and European expertise on the Sino-European Security relationship , this book positions Europe - both the EU and the major national actors - and China in a global security context. It offers not merely an elaboration of the theme of bilateral security relations, but also introduces a wider view on Europe and China as global security actors. The chapters cover four main themes: the perceptions of and actual relations between Europe and China as security actors; relations of China and Europe with third parties such as the US, Russia, and Iran; Europe and China as actors in multilateral security approaches; Europe and China as (potential) security actors in each other’s technological domain or region. Given the increasingly prominent roles that both China and Europe play in international security as permanent members of the UN Security Council (in the European case, through the informal and partial representation of the UK and France), through their extensive global economic interests, and their important relations with the USA, this book provides a timely examination of the current state and future developments in the Sino-European relationship. This book will be of much interest to students of international security, Chinese politics, EU studies and IR in general.

Download or read book Handbook of Space Security written by Kai-Uwe Schrogl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space Security involves the use of space (in particular communication, navigation, earth observation, and electronic intelligence satellites) for military and security purposes on earth and also the maintenance of space (in particular the earth orbits) as safe and secure areas for conducting peaceful activities. The two aspects can be summarized as "space for security on earth" and “the safeguarding of space for peaceful endeavors.” The Handbook will provide a sophisticated, cutting-edge resource on the space security policy portfolio and the associated assets, assisting fellow members of the global space community and other interested policy-making and academic audiences in keeping abreast of the current and future directions of this vital dimension of international space policy. The debate on coordinated space security measures, including relevant 'Transparency and Confidence-Building Measures,' remains at a relatively early stage of development. The book offers a comprehensive description of the various components of space security and how these challenges are being addressed today. It will also provide a number of recommendations concerning how best to advance this space policy area, given the often competing objectives of the world's major space-faring nations. The critical role to be played by the United States and Europe as an intermediary and "middle diplomat" in promoting sustainable norms of behavior for space will likewise be highlighted. In providing a global and coherent analytical approach to space security today, the Handbook focuses on four areas that together define the entire space security area: policies, technologies, applications, and programs. This structure will assure the overall view of the subject from its political to its technical aspects. Internationally recognized experts in each of the above fields contribute, with their analytical synthesis assured by the section editors.
