Europe Reluctantly Chooses SpaceX to Launch Its GPS Satellites::Elon Musk’s SpaceX is set to undertake its first launch of European satellites equipped with classified technology, specifically for the Galileo system.
Why is ESA launching satellites for the US military Global Positioning System?

Stupid headline. Europe’s sat nav / global position platform is Galileo, not GPS.

Seems like a “Q-tip” or “Kleenex” type of thing. It isn’t ‘sat nav’ either as that is a product the end-user uses and the installation is used for more than turn-by-turn navigation.
