Is satelite navigation under threat?

An article in the Sun Newspaper today throws a shadow over the future of satellite navigation:

Quote:... It also comes as US defence chiefs warn they would destroy a planned Euro-Chinese global navigation satellite called Galileo if it poses a military threat.

The report adds: "The EU will allow China to keep using its satelites in a conflict with America ... a danger that is prompting the US to consider how to shut down Galileo in an emergency."


It could be that the Sun is having one of it's regular Euro bashing sessions, but there could be some truth in this. Hopefully we won't be going back to the days of degraded civilian GPS (known as Selective Availability SA).
