What does not make sense is that the entire UK space industry is owned by EU companies, so a UK only alternative is really a non starter. Another BREXIT disaster in the making. And, Sallyann1234, the worrying bit of the post Brexit GPS is that the EU only allows access to the encrypted military bit to EU members.

Does that matter - after all we would only go to war with the Yanks so would have access to their system. There was a story the other week that only 4 of Germany's fleet of 125 Euro-fighters were serviceable so I'm not sure what they think they are saving it for anyway.
