Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Support

Abstract

The Defense-wide Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program element, directed by Title 10 USC Section 2508, provides the Department with a comprehensive ability to support the monitoring and assessment of the industrial base, address critical issues in the industrial base relating to urgent operational needs, support efforts to expand the industrial base and address supply chain vulnerabilities. This program maintains or improves the health of critical and fragile defense industry capabilities that are at risk of being lost but are needed at present and/or have verified future requirements in support of the National Defense Strategy. The goal of the program is to avoid loss of critical capabilities and resultant reconstitution costs, where affordable and innovative mechanisms are available to the producers in the interim. Criteria for project selection will include factors such as 1) identifiable path of preservation, transformation or innovation between an existing capability and a capability with a very high probability of being needed in the short to medium term (< 5 years); 2) loss of the capability is likely in the absence of the proposed project; 3) analysis showing that the project results in a lower overall cost to the department than if capability is developed from scratch when needed; and 4) preference is given to projects supporting multiple programs or services with multiple beneficiaries.

• Change Summary Explanation: FY 2016 baseline program increased with Department priorities. The $4.680M increase from FY2015 to FY2016 is an increase for Space Sector Sustainment. The funding is targeted to maintain active Mercury-Cadmium-Telluride (MCT) detector production (and the capability to surge) to meet the needs of National Security Systems in the Missile and Space Sectors. This MCT project leverages Defense Manufacturing Science and Technology (DMST) work to qualify MCT projects. The FY 2016 funding request was reduced by $2.207M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
