As far as I understand it, relativity does not apply to quantum mechanic oscillations... maybe that's why Einstein didn't like the q.m.
I guess the movement is in the same frame of reference... so go a head bring out the measurement tools
One of the main military policies of the US is to be an early adopter and thus on the forefront of every military technology (pratically every technology, besides eco-related:-)) , therefore EU or any other will always be copying the US in some way
Some comments on the EU Galileo (GAL) project and differencies to GPS (Nav Sys / US): - GAL - Civilian (public and pay services), GPS - (public and military services) - GAL works in cojunction with GPS and GLONASS (Russia), GPS is not meant to work with other systems (first adopter) - GAL and GPS both are augmented by overlayer system like WAAS and EGNOS - GAL has a rescue service with return link (SAR Beacon), this is actually 'copied' from GLONASS:-) (USSR first adopters)... FYI: works like this: you activate beacon, signal picked up by sat. relayed to ground, emergency services signaled and confirmation to beacon is relayed back. - GAL has an important integrity signal relayed with nav.signal, to tell uses if the system is actually performing, nice to know if your placing a 100 ton concrete slap (EU first adopters) - GAL will work well over most of the globe, GPS has places where the constellation is sub-optimal (like nothern EU contries), GLONASS is very poor at the moment.
Basically there is some copying going on, but I would say it's more a re-working with a broader perspective. The main point is Galileo is non-military, not hooked up to an early-response-system, and not hooked up to an total-annihilation system:-(
Yes, I'm European and work in the Galileo project, call me French if you like (but I'm not).
