Even without a more complete analysis of ProFish's supply chain, certain risks and potentials for breakdown in the transportation of the company's components can already be identified. First, the fact that the company relies on a Chinese manufacturer that in turn relies on a US-based provider of certain raw materials means that the company's supply chain is at risk when it comes to the transport of materials and goods throughout the world, regardless of the direction of travel, and this means it is more likely to be impacted by adverse weather, fuel shocks, and other globally and regionally disruptive forces (Golinska & Hajdul, 2012).

In the early 1980s, the international civil aviation community started to express concern about the limitations on existing facilities and procedures, and their inability to cope with increasing air traffic in the future years. Consequently Special Committee on FANS was established to study, identify and assess new concepts and technology in the field of air navigation, including satellite technology, and also to make recommendations thereon for the development of air navigation for international civil aviation over a period of 25 years. A major result was the global Communications, Navigation and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) concept which identified the use of data communications and of satellite-based systems as being the two major areas of improvement to the then existing systems. The CNS/ATM concept was further developed and redefined, after which the Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) became an integral part of CNS/ATM systems.
