Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment Support

Abstract

The IBAS program element line is one component of a broader DoD investment strategy to build and strengthen the defense industrial base and secure U.S. supply chains. Residing within the Manufacturing, Capacity Expansion and Investment Prioritization (MCEIP) Directorate, within the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy (OASD(IBP)), IBAS investments are used discretely and in tandem with other DoD investment programs, such as MCEIP office Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III, to ensure collaborative and non-duplicative investment against critical defense industrial base and U.S. supply chain issues. The IBAS program element supports MCEIP office priorities through investment in prime and sub-tier suppliers to mitigate supply chain risks and eliminate production capacity bottlenecks. IBAS program element investments are further synchronized across the department through coordination with other research and development programs, such as the OSD Manufacturing Technology program, residing in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OSD(R&E)). This program element 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 4817 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 element 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 element 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. 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. Management Process – To successfully execute the FY 2024 budget, the IBAS Program Office within the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 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 2024 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, microelectronics, and biomanufacturing. Descriptions of each focus area are included in the P819 R-2a.
