The integration of Galileo’s Public Regulated Service into European defence platforms is not primarily a technology problem — it is an industrial power problem.

Access to PRS-capable receiver hardware is governed by a layered regime of security accreditation, cryptographic authorisation, and Member State-controlled user management that shapes market participation as decisively as any commercial dynamic.

This analysis answers: Why is integrating Galileo's Public Regulated Service into European defence platforms an industrial power problem rather than a technology problem? What governance boundary conditions (security accreditation, cryptographic authorisation, Member State user management) shape market participation? Where do RF front-end sovereignty, ASIC exposure and semiconductor dependencies concentrate in the PRS receiver value chain? Who are the industrial winners and fragile actors, and what capital-allocation dynamics emerge for 2026-2028?
