22 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. 22 Federal Aviation Aviation System Block Upgrade Block I
