Efficient shipping routes are vital for Germany's economy, especially in and around the Baltic Sea. However, maritime operations remain vulnerable to disruptions in satellite navigation systems such as GPS or Europe's Galileo. Such failures can cause vessel navigation displays to lose position data or worse, deliver false coordinates, increasing the likelihood of accidents.
