GNSS positioning and navigation are important tools for border security and maritime safety. European security forces use GNSS for navigation and tracking of vehicles and personnel, and it plays an important part in modern ballistic guidance systems.

Why is GNSS better than GPS?

GNSS and GPS work together, but the main difference between GPS and GNSS is that GNSS-compatible equipment can use navigational satellites from other networks beyond the GPS system, and more satellites means increased receiver accuracy and reliability.

What is the use of global navigation satellite system?

GNSS are used in all forms of transportation: space stations, aviation, maritime, rail, road and mass transit. Positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) play a critical role in telecommunications, land surveying, law enforcement, emergency response, precision agriculture, mining, finance, scientific research and so on.
