Both systems have their strategic value as each of them has its own mission, which do not overlap. Galileo is essentially a ‘navigation’ system providing a permanent and more accurate than ever positioning and timing services worldwide.
GMES/Copernicus is an ‘Earth observation’ system providing information on the state of our environment and improving the security of our citizens.
