Abstract
Initially designed for military purposes, the American Global Positioning System (GPS) has found a large public use, both for professional and mass market applications. The original goal of GPS was to allow positioning in environments with no local or regional ground infrastructure. The European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7) is undergoing GALILEO research and development activities. One natural field of investment for FP7 is the setting up of public enablers of GALILEO/EGNOS service adoption. The European Space Agency supports the development of many of the innovations in satellite navigation technology. The GSA will coordinate its activities with the European Space Agency (ESA) research and development programs to optimize the overall outcomes of the programs from the two agencies. The European Group of Institutes of Navigation (EUGIN) has organized a yearly European Navigation Conference Global Navigation Satellite Systems (ENC GNSS), which is hosted by a different EUGIN country member.
