what is Vc at low level

Could some one help me to clarify what Vc is at low level for a turboprop or a jet. Neither are designed to cruise for example at 3000ft.

The bird strike certification is for both a jet or a turboprop to be able to withstand the impact of a 4lb bird on the windshield (without penetration), at design cruise speed (Vc).

Is the design cruise speed Vmo for low level operations?

Any help would be very much appreciated
