A: Many augmentations of GNSS satellite navigation have been developed and fielded since the GPS constellation was completed and declared fully operational in 1995. The best known of these are satellite-based and ground-based augmentation systems (SBAS and GBAS), which are public systems designed to support civil aviation.

EUSPA Testing HAS for Drone Navigation

The European Agency for the Space Program (EUSPA) is moving forward with its rollout of the free Galileo high accuracy service (HAS). Speaking at the recent HAS Days event in Spain, EUSPA’s Carmen Aguilera said, “Galileo HAS is user driven, as is the case for all European space programs. Our goal is to make sure that the services we are delivering are tailored to meet the needs of the users and the industries that will employ them in their businesses.”
