The E-4B is the National Airborne Operations Center (NAOC) for the National Command 243

Authority (NCA) which includes the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense and 244 the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). In case of national emergency or destruction of 245 ground command control centers, the E-4B provides a modern, highly survivable, command, 246 control and communications center to direct U.S. forces, execute emergency war orders and 247 coordinate actions by civil authorities. There are four E-4B aircraft in the Air Force inventory, 248 with one constantly on alert. 249

The E-4B aircraft, a militarized version of the Boeing 747-200, is a four-engine, swept-wing, long-250 range, high-altitude airplane capable of being refueled in flight. It is equipped with the electronics, 251 communications, and personnel and equipment required for the NAOC missions. The E-4B serves 252 as a worldwide, survivable enduring node of the National Military Command System (NMCS) for 253 the purpose of exercising national security responsibilities throughout the full spectrum of conflict. 254

The E-4B has electromagnetic pulse protection, nuclear and thermal effects shielding, an electrical 255 system designed to support advance electronics and a wide variety of communications equipment. 256

An advanced satellite communications system allows worldwide communications among strategic 257 and tactical satellite systems and the airborne operations center. 258

1.4.2 VC-25A Air Force One 259

The mission of the VC-25A, more commonly known as "Air Force One," is to provide senior 260 leader air transportation for the President of the United States. The fleet consists of two specially 261 configured Boeing 747-200 aircraft. These aircraft have been managed by Air Force Life Cycle 262

Management Center (AFLCMC) since they were deployed in the early 90s. These aircraft provide 263 safe, comfortable, reliable, worldwide air transport with a communications capability that provides 264 an “office in the sky” environment. The basic airframes, engines and avionics systems are 265 commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) with unique mission support systems and equipment installed 266 to support mission requirements. The basic aircraft and unique systems are maintained to Federal 267

Aviation Administration (FAA) standards. 268

The contractor shall not use the VC-25A, in terminology or visually, in connection with 269 advertisement of any system/component installed on the aircraft. The Contractor shall ensure sub-270 contractors also do not use the VC-25A, in terminology or visually, in connection with 271 advertisement of any system/component installed on the aircraft. 272

1.4.3 C-32A 273

The mission of the C-32A is to provide senior leader transportation for the Vice President, First 274

Lady and cabinet members. The fleet consists of four specially configured Boeing 757-200 aircraft 275 stationed at Joint Base Andrews, MD. The C-32A provides safe, comfortable and reliable 276 transportation for our nation’s leaders to locations around the world. Serves as an office in the sky 277 and provides critical senior leadership mission capabilities. The basic airframes, engines and 278 avionics systems are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) with unique mission support systems and 279 equipment installed to support mission requirements. 280

1.4.4 C-40B 281

The mission of the C-40B is to provide airlift and an office in the sky for combatant commanders. 282

The fleet is made up of four Boeing 737-700IGW/Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) commercial 283 derivative aircraft stationed at Joint Base Andrews, MD. The basic airframes, engines and avionics 284 systems are COTS with unique mission support systems and equipment installed to support 285 mission requirements. 286

1.4.5 C-40C 287

The C-40C is a multi-mission aircraft providing rapid response to worldwide team travel and 288 special air mission tasking. The primary customers are Congress and Senate members and senior 289 military members. The fleet consists of seven Boeing 737-700IGW/Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) 290 commercial derivative aircraft modified for senior leaders. The basic airframes, engines and 291 avionics systems are COTS with unique mission support systems and equipment installed to 292 support mission requirements. Three aircraft are stationed at Joint Base Andrews, MD operated by 293

Air National Guard (ANG) and four are stationed at Scott AFB, IL and are operated by Air Force 294

Reserve Corps (AFRC.) 295

1.4.7 VC-25B The Next Air Force One 296

The mission of the VC-25B, more commonly known as "The Next Air Force One," will provide 297 air transportation to the President of the United States (POTUS) ensuring he/she is able to execute 298 the duties of Head of State, Chief Executive, and Commander in Chief. The Boeing 747-8i 299 commercial aircraft was uniquely modified to provide POTUS, staff, and guests with safe 300 comfortable, and reliable air transport with a communications capability that provides a “flying 301

White House” environment. The modification of these aircraft is managed by Air Force Life Cycle 302

Management Center / WVB (AFLCMC/WVB). The modifications to the 747-8 aircraft include 303 the following major enhancements: 304

a. Avionics and flight deck – military communication, navigation, and surveillance 305 capabilities are added to the 747-8 flight deck. 306

b. Mission Communication Subsystem (MCS) – a new MCS is added to provide global 307 secure/non-secure voice, data, and video communications. 308

c. Interior – a customized Layout of Passenger Accommodation (LOPA) is required to 309 provide presidential accommodations, a Medical Compartment, Senior Staff 310

Compartment, Staff Area, Guest Area, Press Area, Forward and Aft Lower Lobe stowage, 311 and accommodations for aircrew. 312

d. Airframe and systems – airframe and system enhancements include electrical power 313 upgrades, autonomous enplaning/deplaning, autonomous baggage loading, and 314

Electromagnetic Environmental (E3) hardening. 315
