Operational Support Airlift

Abstract

This line item previously supported two Presidential support airlift modernization efforts: Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization (PAR) and VC-25A Avionics Modernization Program (AMP). FY15 and beyond, Project 675355 Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization efforts will be executed in PE0401319F, Project 655250, Presidential Aircraft Recap in order to improve transparency for ACAT I acquisition programs; this line item is dedicated soley to VC-25A AMP. 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 address safety of flight and to ensure the viability of the Presidential support airlift fleet until PAR is fielded.

FY15 adjustment of $6.640M is due to greater than expected Non Recurring Engineering (NRE) costs and inaccurate contractor estimates.
