Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization
Abstract
Totals include funding for Program Resources Collection Process (PRCP) Program Number 425, Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization. This funding supports development planning for the Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization (PAR) effort. 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 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. 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. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
