List of Contents ASBU & SWIM ASBU & AMHS B1-31, B2-31, etc. ASBU & AMHS B0-30, B0-25, etc. Summary – Why ASBU is useful for us? Summary – What can we do now? 3 3

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….” 4 4

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 5 5

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 time. 6 6

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. 7 7

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 8 8

Who is involved?? “EVERYBODY” Stakeholders include: Governing body e.g. ICAO, PIRGs, etc. Service Providers Regulators Airspace Users Manufacturers 9 9

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. 10 10

Block 0 In Perspective 18 18

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. 19 19

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. 20 20

Why ASBU is useful for us?? 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. 67

What can we do now?? 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” 68

What can we do in the future?? ?????

Thank you for your attention.
