• ASBU & AMHS– B0-30, B0-25, etc.

• Summary – Why ASBU is useful for us?• Summary – What can we do now?

The concept of ASBU

• ASBU stands for Aviation System Block Upgrades• Excerpt from the ASBU Working Document• “…ICAO therefore initiated the “Aviation System

Block Upgrades” initiative as a programmatic framework that– develops a set of air traffic management (ATM) solutions or

upgrades,– takes advantage of current equipage,– establishes a transition plan, and– enables global interoperability….”

The concept of ASBU

• The concept of block upgrades comes from existing implementation plans and initiatives in many regions of the world.– Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen)

from the US– Single European Sky ATM Research (SESAR) from the

Europe– Collaborative Actions for Renovation of Air Traffic

Systems (CARATS) programs from Japan– Others

The concept of ASBU

• ASBU composes of a suite of “modules” with the following characteristics:– clearly-defined measurable operational improvement and

success metric;– Necessary equipment and/or systems in aircraft and on ground

along with an operational approval or certification plan;– Standards and procedures for both airborne and ground

systems; and– A positive business case over A a clearly defined period of

The concept of ASBU

• ASBU will include the development of technology roadmaps, to ensure that standards are mature and to facilitate synchronized implementation between air and ground systems and between regions. The ultimate goal is to achieve global interoperability.

The concept of ASBU

• ASBU are organized in five-year time “Block” increments starting in 2013 through 2028 and beyond.

• ASBU will be formalized at the Twelfth Air Navigation Conference, in November 2012

Who is involved??

• “EVERYBODY”• Stakeholders include:

– Governing body e.g. ICAO, PIRGs, etc.– Service Providers– Regulators– Airspace Users– Manufacturers

What is actually an Aviation System Block Upgrade??

• A Block Upgrade has 4 components:– Module – A deployable package (performance) or capability– Thread – A series of dependent modules across the block

upgrades.– Block – A block is made up of modules that when combined

enable significant improvements and provide access to benefits

– Performance Improvement Area (PIA) – An executive view of the intended evolution of modules in each Block that provide operational and performance objectives.

Global Air Navigation Plan & ASBU

• Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) is a strategic document in enhancing the efficiency of air navigation systems. – GANP contains guidance for systems improvement

in the near- and medium-term.– For Long-term initiatives, the GANP must be

updated once such concepts are matured.• ICAO aims for the ASBU initiative to be the

global approach for GANP.

ASBU & SWIM

• System-Wide Information Management (SWIM) is a critical component in order to achieve ASBU PIA 2 - Globally Interoperable Systems and Data

• SWIM implementation is designated in Block 1 and Block 2 of the ASBU : – B1-31, B2-31 and B2-25

• Relationship (thread) with other modules are not completely developed yet.

ASBU & AMHS

• AMHS/ATN is the network and application for exchange of digital information.

• AMHS systems are being deployed around the world.

• AMHS and ATN can be considered as elements contributing to modules in Block 0 (Near-term) of the ASBU : – B0-25, B0-30 and B0-40.

Related Modules

• Some modules are pre-requisite of the SWIM-related modules– B1-30, B1-25 and B1-105

• We have a sense of the whole picture.• We can see all the components and see how they fit

with each other and• We also have a sense of where we are in that “whole

picture”.• We know of “somewhat scope” of what we should

do.• We have a “ somewhat prioritized plan” of what we

should do.

Why ASBU is useful for us??

• Follow through with how ASBU is developed.

• Learn, Learn, and Learn some more.• Start coordinating with peer organizations.• Or to put it simply – “BE PREPARED”

What can we do now??
