Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBU)
• ASBU is a systems engineering planning and implementation approach
• ASBU is a global framework to ensure: – Aviation Safety will be maintained and enhanced
– ATM improvement programs are effectively harmonized
– Barriers to future aviation efficiency and environmental gains can be removed at reasonable cost
• ASBU incorporates a long-term perspective matching companion ICAO documents
• ASBU serves to provide industry-wide transparency and essential investment certainty

Challenges - How to Get There?
• Budget considerations are greater for Block 1 since these modules do involve technology insertion in either ground/air or both.
• Block 1 has a strong dependency on moving to network based communications for aviation.
• There are regional synchronization issues of equipage and capabilities to achieve much of Block 1. This is essential to the successful implementation to the future Blocks. – Global standards can alleviate such risks and ensure interoperability
between regional ANSPs. Global standards also offers stakeholders a common rubric.
