Operational Support Airlift

Abstract

This line item supports development planning for two Presidential support airlift efforts: Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization (PAR) and VC-25A Avionics Modernization Program (AMP). PAR will recapitalize the VC-25A system and support the Office of the President in executing Constitutional roles of Head of State, Chief Executive, and Commander in Chief. The principal mission of 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, PAR enables the President and traveling staff to address the full range of political and military operations globally. VC-25A AMP assures unrestricted global access to civilian and military airspace to support the President of the United States as Head of State, Chief Executive, and Commander in Chief. AMP upgrades use a systems approach to aid pilot awareness and alleviate task saturation enhancing safety in a high technology concentrated airspace environment. VC-25A AMP is a required modification to ensure the viability of the Presidential support airlift fleet until PAR is fielded.
