Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Support

Abstract

Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS), directed in Title 10 USC Section 2508, provides the Department with a unique capability to achieve the strategic goal of a strong, resilient, responsive and healthy US Industrial Base (IB) that improves the Departments force readiness posture. This program is uniquely positioned to improve the US Industrial Base’s ability to respond to the Departments needs by applying focused investments (as directed in 10 USC Sec 2508) to: 1) monitor and assess the current state of the IB, 2) address critical issues in the IB relating to Urgent Operational Needs, 3) address supply chain vulnerabilities and, 4) support efforts to expand the Industrial Base. Manufacturing dominance underpins technical dominance. A healthy manufacturing and defense industrial base and resilient supply chains are essential to the economic strength and national security of the United States. The ability of the United States to maintain readiness, and to surge in response to an emergency, directly relates to the capacity, capabilities, and resiliency of our manufacturing and defense industrial base and supply chains. IBAS is fundamental to achieving a modern IB that integrates traditional and emerging sectors to be able to respond at will to National Security Requirements. IBAS investments focus on addressing Industrial Base issues that support defense needs by identifying and closing gaps in defense manufacturing capabilities and creating and sustaining reliable sources. Key areas of IBAS investment will include: 1)advancing and sustaining both traditional and emerging defense manufacturing sectors, 2)preserving critical and unique manufacturing and design skills, 3)supporting and expanding reliable sources, and 4)identifying and mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities
