OPERATIONAL SUPPORT AIRLIFT

Abstract

FY2010 funding request supports development planning for the Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization (PAR) effort. The PAR will recapitalize the VC-25A system and support the Office of the President in executing Constitutional roles of Commander-in-Chief, Head-of-State, and Chief Executive. The principal mission of the PAR is to provide the President of the United States and the President's staff and guests with safe, comfortable, and reliable air transportation with the same level of security and communications capability as is available at the White House. As a "national level" airborne communications node providing voice, data, video, processed imagery, and network services, the PAR enables the President and traveling staff to address the full range of political and military operations. Funding supports key development planning efforts and products including: systems engineering strategy and analysis; risk analysis and management; concept definition and trade studies; test and evaluation strategy; Life Cycle Cost estimates; sustainment and logistics analysis; information support and network analysis; technology and manufacturing maturity analysis; and acquisition planning and analysis.
