The last I heard, the projected date for the launch of the Galileo Next
Generation Global Navigation Satellite System was some time in 2005, so
after that date there could be an alternative to the American GPS.
However, anyone who's at war with the US is likely to be also disliked
by the Europeans behind Galileo, and might find that they can't get good
readings from either system.

It doesn't really matter whether the enemy is on good terms with Europe
or not. Just because it's a European system doesn't mean the US can't
jam it into uselesness as soon as hostilities begin.
