Galileo is a global satellite navigation system developed by the European Union and operated under full civilian control. Since 2016, the system has provided an independent and highly accurate solution tailored specifically to Europe’s positioning and timing needs. Unlike the United States’ GPS and Russia’s GLONASS, Galileo is designed exclusively for civilian users, distinguishing it through this feature. Currently, over 3.5 billion devices worldwide utilize Galileo signals. Thanks to its dual-
