§ Lord Rotherwickasked Her Majesty's Government:
What action is being taken to ensure that the European Galileo system will not suffer from signal interference. [HL3943]
§ Lord Sainsbury of TurvilleLike other radio and radio-navigation signals such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), the Galileo signals will not be immune to interference.
However, the UK is actively involved in the European Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA) programme on the development format of the Galileo signals to make them as robust as possible, thereby mitigating any interference effects. The UK is also involved in discussions between the EU and the US on co-operation on satellite radio-navigation, including the need to ensure that the GPS and Galileo signals are not a source of interference to one another.
