    • Description

      Second in a four-part series about satellite navigation. This is the International version which carries international sound and no commentary. The 4 minute A-roll, which is complemented by a longer B-roll, outlines the functioning and the limitations of the US-American GPS system and what the proposed civilian, Euopean system Galileo, would contribute to the sagety of transport, notably commercial air traffic and cars. The B-roll includes a wide variety of additional footage on all modes of transport: air, land, sea and maritime.
