The US and Europe Military GNSS chip market size was valued at US$ 230.17 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 351.81 million by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 6.4% from 2025 to 2031.
The Europe Military GNSS chip market is segmented into Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Russia, and the Rest of Europe. The Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) is a secure, encrypted satellite navigation service offered through the European Union's Galileo GNSS. Unlike other Galileo services, such as the Open Service or Commercial Service, PRS is specifically tailored for government-authorized users, requiring highly resilient and reliable PNT capabilities. In October 2024, Leonardo took part in the G2S PRS (Galileo Ground Segment - Public Regulated Service) project, contributing to the development of a specialized localization, navigation, and synchronization capability within the Galileo system. This service is designed specifically for authorized users from governments of countries in the European Union. It supports critical operations that demand high continuity, such as those carried out by defense, emergency services, healthcare, search and rescue, law enforcement, coast guards, and civil protection agencies. In September 2023, the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) launched a US$ 7.5 million (€7 million) procurement initiative to develop PRIMO, a tool intended to monitor the continuity, integrity, and security of the PRS signal. This tool is designed to support the operations of the Galileo Security Monitoring Centre and strengthen the overall resilience and reliability of the PRS service.
In terms of type, the US and Europe Military GNSS chip market is segmented into GPS, GLONASS and Galileo. The GPS segment held the largest US and Europe Military GNSS chip market share. GPS, developed and maintained by the US, remains the most widely used satellite navigation system globally. Its broad adoption across both civilian and military applications has made GPS-enabled chips a standard in many devices, from smartphones and vehicles to precision-guided munitions and autonomous military systems. In the defense sector, the availability of encrypted signals such as M-Code enhances GPS's reliability, security, and resistance to jamming and spoofing. The ongoing modernization of GPS with newer Block III satellites and advanced signals such as L1C and L2C boosts the capabilities of GPS-based GNSS chips, making them essential for next-generation military navigation and positioning systems.
