UK Defense Ministry Starts Development of National Navigation System - Reports

The UK Ministry of Defense has started development of its own satellite navigation system because in future London could lose access to the European Galileo system after Brexit, local media reported.

In April, UK media reported that London was considering the possibility of development of the navigation system amid the EU decision to push the United Kingdom out of security-sensitive parts of the Galileo project after Brexit.

The Telegraph reported citing UK Defense Secretary Gavin Williamson that UK authorities had started preliminary work on the project worth about 3 billion pounds (over $4 billion).
