C-32 Executive Transport Recap

Abstract

The C-32A Executive Transport Recapitalization program will replace the current C-32A aircraft fleet which will reach its planned 25-year service life in 2023. Recapitalization efforts need to begin to better align with the current Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization and the E-4B National Airborne Operations Center Recapitalization efforts. The C-32A mission is to provide Executive Airlift transportation for the President, Vice President, Cabinet, Congress, and other US and foreign officials. The C-32A recap aircraft would be a more robust aircraft that would mitigate many capability gaps that exist when the current C-32A aircraft serve as a backup to VC-25A and PAR. The C-32A replacement aircraft would have increased range, passenger capacity, enhanced senior leader communications and a private work space. This budget supports initial funding to complete a combined Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) with the E-4B Recapitalization AoA. Funding also allows for the completion of early acquisition activities, allows the Air Force to establish a program office, begin acquisition strategy development, and conduct market research. Funding also supports initial risk reduction activities and conduct performance trade studies. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD) because it has passed Milestone B approval and is conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
