1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY:
1.1 Mission Area
The 201st Airlift Squadron (201 AS) District of Columbia Air National Guard provides worldwide air transportation for the Executive Branch, Congressional Members/Delegations (CODEL), Department of Defense (DoD) officials, and high-ranking U.S. and foreign dignitaries. Moreover, the 201 AS provides air transportation support for HQ USAF inspection team travel. At any given time, world events may require the nation’s leaders to be dispatched simultaneously on diplomatic missions. These missions are essential in peace and war when diplomacy and negotiation become critical elements of the National Security Strategy. Both physical and communications security (COMSEC) are integral to the mission because principals and their staffs must conduct business enroute. In addition, mission protocol dictates the frequent use of civilian airports.
1.2 Existing Capability
The current long range/high volume mission of the 201 AS is accomplished with a C-22B aircraft. The range of these aircraft is 2,100 nautical miles (NM). The aircraft have modified reconfigurable first class interiors with separate coach class for passengers and crew. Crew training and standardization have been complicated by the existence of two different flight deck configurations in the aircraft.
1.3 Mission Need Statement (MNS) and related ORDs
This ORD addresses the need in ANG MNS 001-97, C-22 Replacement Aircraft, Feb 97, identifying the need to replace the C-22Bs assigned to the 201 AS.
1.4 Anticipated Operational and Support Concepts
The unit organization will consist of a fleet of four aircraft based at Andrews AFB (AAFB), Maryland. The 201 AS routinely provides support to the 89th Airlift Wing (AW) at Andrews AFB and is regularly scheduled by the Chief Vice Air Mission (CVAM) office to provide airlift to congressional members and staff. These aircraft will also support senior military and civilian leaders, National Guard Bureau personnel, civic leaders, and various USAF inspection teams throughout the world. The team travel aspect of the 201 AS’s mission is to provide support to United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) via the Joint Operational Support Airlift Center (JOSAC) with carrying teams of more than 15 members. The average number of team members supported by the 201 AS is 40, but in many cases, the number is as high as 70. Additionally, taskings are received from the Global Patient Movement Requirement Center (GPMRC) to move military members, dependants, and other DoD personnel requiring special medical transportation. The majority of flights will be into commercial airports. The aircraft will be Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified, and the Air National Guard (ANG) will maintain type certification. ANG will use commercially developed manuals (operation and maintenance) that comply with the intent of FAR -121, ATA guidelines, and AFPD 62-4. ANG personnel will perform on-equipment maintenance. A Commercial contractor will provide and operate a contractor owned and maintained base supply (COMBS). When beyond the units capability, a contractor will provide both on- and off-equipment maintenance.
1.5 Type of Proposed System
A commercial, nondevelopmental item (CaNDI), FAA certified intercontinental, commercial passenger transport. Lease to buy, lease to own, or operational lease acquisition is acceptable.
2.0 THREAT
The threat to transport aircraft includes small arms, antiaircraft gun systems, surface-to-air missiles, and enemy aircraft. Terrorism and sabotage also are threats to aircraft operating out of civilian airports. Additionally, information and communication systems aboard the aircraft could be lucrative information warfare targets. Detailed information on these threat environments can be found in the Air Mobility Threat Environment (TED), NAIC-1574-0735-98; the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) Systems and Networks, and Automated Information Systems (AIS) TED, NAIC-1574-0210-97; and the Air Base System TED, NAIC-1571-664-95.
3.0 SHORTCOMINGS OF EXISTING SYSTEMS
The C-22Bs are modified Boeing 727-100 series aircraft, out of production since 1969. Spare parts are increasingly costly and difficult to obtain as commercial operators phase out this series of Boeing 727 and supply sources dwindle. The current fleet suffers from numerous operational restrictions. The aircraft are aging and have high operating, maintenance, and support costs. Communication and navigation systems are old and fail to meet the new requirements for air traffic management and separation mandated by Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) and Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) requirements. The C-22B fleet fails to meet either FAA or International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Stage 3 noise and air pollution requirements. The Pratt & Whitney (P&W) JT-8 engines, which power the C-22B, are out of production and no new spare parts are being manufactured. The engines are expensive to operate, and emit more pollutants than newer, more fuel-efficient engines. The aircraft are heavily dependent upon ground support equipment, and are the only C-22Bs flying in the USAF.

REQUIREMENTS CORRELATION MATRIX
PART II
(Supporting Rationale for System Characteristics and Capabilities)
AS OF DATE: 19 Apr 1999
Parameter 1 – General:
FAA-certified, commercial nondevelopmental aircraft is required by Air Force Policy Directive 62-4 for this application.
Parameter 2 – System Performance:
Members of congress, senior leaders, and the Air National Guard master plan require that long-range aircraft be able to fly nonstop from Andrews AFB, MD to Moscow, Russia and from Frankfurt, Germany to Andrews AFB, Maryland, year round, in passenger configuration 2 (including baggage).
b. Mission Planning System: Must have the capability to flight plan, compute critical takeoff and landing data, and aircraft weight and balance for all contingencies within the performance requirements of the aircraft.
Diplomatic missions require a timely response. A speed slower than .80 Mach would increase enroute times and decrease the current service provided to DVs. Current mission planning is based on 0.80 Mach, and organized track systems desire that speed.
Cruise Ceiling: This will allow entry into the organized track system after a maximum gross weight takeoff.
Minimum Runway: The C-22 can currently operate from 7,000 foot runways. If runway requirements exceed 7,000 feet, access to many fields worldwide will be reduced.
d. Flight Deck:
An FAA certified two-pilot commercial cockpit with observer station complete with dual FMS and avionics to operate in accordance with FAA/ICAO global air traffic requirements.
Congressional delegations and senior DoD leaders require a high level of support to accommodate computer and communication requirements. 28VDC receptacles are required to support the USAF Spectrum 500 medevac bed and the GPMRC mission.
f. Passenger and Crew Accommodations
Required to support worldwide diplomatic operations over an average one-week mission. Normal crew duty day is 16 hours but may be as long as 18 hours. Partitions will allow crewmembers to perform duties without interrupting passengers.
g.-h. Distinguished Visitor/Staff Accommodations
The aircraft must provide a private, secure, office working environment for the DV and staff, complete with safe.
i.-j. General Seating Area
Configuration flexibility in the general seating area will support the high volume team transport and medevac missions.
k. Lavatories
Size and number to accommodate all passenger configurations and provide security and privacy to stateroom. The Americans with Disabilities Act presents the possibility that high ranking civilian leaders may have special needs which must be accommodated with a handicapped access lavatory.
l. Galley
Ability to prepare and serve first class meals to passengers and crew. The length of the mission legs and the time of day travel is accomplished requires the capability to provide in-flight meals. This allows the CODEL the opportunity to arrive ready to perform official duties. Requirements are based on provisions for passenger configuration 2 over an average one-week mission. Destinations may preclude buying fresh food therefore food must be stored aboard the aircraft
m. Airstairs
Many civilian destinations have minimal ground support equipment, and those that do, often charge excessive fees for their use. A self-contained forward stair is required to avoid dependence on host nation support or in areas of fringe military airfields where support is difficult or non-existent.
Parameter 3 – Cargo Compartment:
Required for passengers and crew baggage storage as well as support materials for diplomatic missions.
b. Potable Water
Many countries do not have potable water available for aircraft, therefore a sufficient aircraft water supply is required for passengers, crew, and meal preparation.
Parameter 4 – Avionics and Navigation System
a.-d. Avionics Architecture
The equipment listed is required to safely and efficiently operate in the existing and planned worldwide environment. Effective operation in this environment is required for mission accomplishment. Radar is required for weather avoidance. TACAN and IFF/SIF will allow operations into contingent areas of military operations. Commercial flight data/voice recorder and ACARS (or similar) is required to obtain flight information and Command and Control. AMC’s future plan requires assets to contain this equipment. The aircraft must operate seamlessly in both the civilian and military theaters of operation. The aircraft must meet FAA and ICAO requirements, and be upgradeable to future GATM stipulations.
Parameter 5 – Communication System Architecture
a.-d. Command Communications System
The equipment listed is required to efficiently operate in the existing and planned worldwide environment. UHF radios are required for military communications. Transponders must be FAA/ICAO ATC and military compatible.
e.–g. Passenger Communications
Provides worldwide secure/nonsecure communications. DV’s must have "realtime" access to political and military leaders in times of crisis or changing world situations
Parameter 6 – Aircraft External Configuration
a.–b. Standard commercial FAA approved external lighting and paint scheme to meet current Air National Guard requirements.
Parameter 7 – Security:
Required to protect congressional delegations, classified material, and the aircraft from unauthorized entry.
b. Electromagnetic Capability
All components must function in harmony allowing simultaneous operations without interfering with one another.
c. Frequency Allocation
Required by law.
d. Hazardous Materials/ODC’s
Hazardous materials and ODC’s will be avoided. FAA approved substitutes will be used wherever possible.
