24 What are the ASBUs? (1)

ASBUs describe improvements to the global ATM system in 2D:

A functional dimension showing the necessary changes according to
operational performance areas
Air Traffic Management

A time dimension with 4 time blocks corresponding to availability

milestones
 25 // 39
25 What are the ASBUs? (2)

ASBU definition was guided by technology roadmaps:

5 selected domains:
Communication
Navigation
Surveillance
Information Management
Avionics
Satisfy two primary functions:
Provide planning guidance by indicating the readiness timeframe on a
per-technology basis
Provide implementation status information on a per-technology basis
