Whose Sky Is It?

The United States GPS and Russian GLONASS navigation systems offer a wide range of applications for maritime, land mobile and aeronautical users. However, in most cases a ""civil overlay system"" is needed to optimize service performance and integrity.This documentary outlines ESA's efforts to develop and demonstrate such a system for aeronautical navigation.
