Europe considers U-turn on military use for 'Galileo'

Galileo's 30 satellites will circle the globe in three orbits at an altitude of around 23,000km and its designers say the project will deliver real-time positioning down to within metres with unrivalled accuracy. The system will make road-pricing schemes easier to run and driverless cars a possibility. Other uses include the monitoring of crop yields and tracking livestock
