Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Support

Abstract

Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Support (IBAS) was established in accordance with 10 USC Sec 2508 Industrial Base Fund. The mission is to strengthen the posture of the U.S. Defense Manufacturing and Industrial Base to respond at will in support of the Warfighter today and tomorrow. The IBAS Program provides the Department with a unique capability to achieve the strategic aims of the 2021 National Defense Strategy calling for a strong, resilient, responsive and healthy U.S. Industrial Base (IB) that underpins current and future U.S. force readiness. This program is uniquely positioned to improve the U.S. Industrial Base’s competitiveness and ability to respond to the Department’s needs by applying focused investments 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. 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. 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 and sustain in response to an emergency, directly relates to the capacity, capabilities, and resiliency of our manufacturing and defense industrial base and supply chains. 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) Continue advancement and sustainment of both traditional and emerging defense manufacturing sectors; 2) Continue preservation of critical and unique manufacturing and design skills; 3) Continue the support and expansion of reliable sources; and 4) Continue Identification and mitigation of supply chain vulnerabilities The IBAS program uses a multi-pronged approach to identify projects. We: 1) conduct assessments of the national technology and industrial base using the OUSD Acquisition & Sustainment (A&S), Office of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (ODASD) Industrial Policy as directed by 10 U.S. Code 2505; 2) work in close partnership with defense programs; and 3) work directly with industry. ODASD (Industrial Policy) collaborates with the services and agencies to perform assessments under the Title 10 USC Section 2505 program to identify elements of the industrial base critical to a healthy and resilient defense industrial base in order to address: 1) gaps in national-security-related domestic manufacturing capabilities; 2) threatened, single, or sole source capabilities especially within the lower tiers; 3) foreign dependency from high risk sources or countries; and 4) education and manufacturing workforce skills needs.
