This is normally talked about as improving coverage and limiting the number of black holes, but of course it *also* would reduce the risks to the system if one satellite is blown up. You'd need a pretty substantial operation to out 60 satellites, wouldn't you? wg Also part of the point of Galileo’s and GPS’s being interoperable is that it will provide increased redundancy.
