VC-25 Avionics Modernization Program
Abstract
VC-25A Avionics Modernization Program (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 the Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization (PAR) program is fielded. If not installed, the VC-25A will not be upgraded with modern flight deck avionics and safety of flight equipment and the President of the United States, while aboard the VC-25A, may encounter routing, timing, or other airspace restrictions, impeding the safe and effective transport of the President. AMP complies with mandates for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out and Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Mode 5 as well as a Coupled Vertical Navigation (VNAV) capability. It will incorporate multiple subsystems, to include, but not limited to, maneuver camera system, large cockpit displays, and navigation radios to increase the utility and safety of the VC-25A. Installations are aligned with the aircraft heavy maintenance schedule.
