Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Support

Abstract

This program supports the Department's initiatives to Defend the Homeland, Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage, and Taking Care of People. Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) Support was established in accordance with 10 USC Sec 2508 Industrial Base Fund. 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 authorities and flexibility are key components to build the industrial capabilities needed to innovate, produce, and sustain the weapon systems for today and tomorrow. The IBAS Program provides the Department with a unique capability to achieve the strategic aims of the 2022 National Defense Strategy, which calls 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. The IBAS program is one component of a broader integrated DoD investment strategy to build and strengthen the defense industrial base and secure U.S. supply chains. IBAS investments are used discretely and in tandem with other DoD investment programs to achieve DoD and national security goals. Global supply chain disruptions have become more common, with recent events highlighting risks and vulnerabilities that undermine our national security. The February 24, 2022 report on Executive Order (E.O.) 14017, “America’s Supply Chains”, and the 2022 Industrial Base Capabilities (ICR) report, each outline strategic focus areas and enabling capabilities, their associated vulnerabilities, and provide recommendations to strengthen the defense industrial base. The FY 2023 IBAS budget reflects the DoD’s commitment to ensuring our supply chains can provide our warfighters with decisive advantage. This budget includes investments to respond to E.O. 14017 and ICR findings and recommendations, emerging and modernization priorities and technologies, and other defense requirements. This is the result of significant coordination for each strategic focus area via cross-functional teams (CFT). These CFTs developed an integrated and prioritized investment strategy to address the most pressing needs for each focus area, to include mapping to investment authorities. The FY 2023 IBAS budget reflects the outcome of the CFT recommendations, and has been coordinated to complement adjacent investments of related programs including the Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III, Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program, and at the Military Service level. Accordingly, investments in the strategic focus areas addressed below will establish, sustain, and expand domestic capabilities and capacities to build more viable and resilient supply chains. Management Process – To successfully execute the FY 2023 budget, the IBAS Program Office within the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense Industrial Base Policy (OASD(IBP)) will oversee the health of the IBAS portfolio and project codes. The IBAS Program Office coordinates with a Military Service or defense agency technical lead to develop and execute an acquisition strategy and implementation plans for each strategic focus area. FY 2023 strategic focus areas that will be executed in IBAS Project Code P819 include workforce, critical materials and chemicals, castings and forgings, kinetic weapons, energy storage and batteries, biomanufacturing, and microelectronics. Descriptions of each focus area are included in the P819 R-2a.

• Change Summary Explanation: FY 2023 funding increase reflects the fact that the FY 2022 President's Budget request did not include out-year funding. FY 2023 Adjustments to Budget Years reflects amount not included in the FY 2022 President's Budget request, and internal realignment of funds for DoD priorities, including the following: workforce initiatives, critical materials and chemicals, castings and forgings, kinetic weapons, energy storage and batteries, biomanufacturing, and microelectronics ecosystem. P821 Microelectronics FY 2023 funding for the Defense Microelectronics Cross-Function Team effort transitions from Program Element 0607210D8 to Program Element 0604294D8Z Microelectronics under the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E).
