This is a space technology put into use by the US military in 1973, which was mainly composed of 24 satellites orbiting around the earth, sending out continuously radio signals of a certain frequency from a height about 17,000 kilometers above ground.

The Galileo project, involving an investment estimated at 3.6 billion Euro, is made up of 30 satellites distributed in three orbits at a height of 24,000 kilometers.

So, more satellites, later model, better equipped, with protection against things our satellites may not be protected against, in three different orbits, while ours is only in one.
The EU will eventually (with Red China) stand up against the US, and the US will fall. As much as I hate to say it.
