Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) Support (core program, excludes Congressional Adds)
Abstract
IBAS currently focuses efforts and investments for all fiscal years in the categories listed below: 1) Supply Chain Vulnerabilities Mitigation: Continuing investments to mitigate supply chain risks findings from the Executive Order (EO) 13806 and on-going assessments for both traditional defense sectors and cross-cutting sectors. Primary focus areas are ships and subs, casting and forgings, workforce skills for the trades including welding and machining, and machine tools. 2) Radars, Sensors, and Electronics Sectors: Continuing investments to expand the sub-tier supply chain by improving production process efficiencies; establishing open standards; and implementing modular and scalable technology. 3) Materials Sector: Continuing investments to address the technical risk associated with the dependence on materials from foreign non-allied countries for DoD ground, air, and space assets. Heavy Rare Earth Elements is a primary focus, supported by a Congressional add in FY 2020, and a one-year increased investment in FY 2022 funded via internal DoD reprogramming. 4) Munitions and Missiles Sector: Continuing efforts to improve existing production processes, exploring advanced materials for higher performance; and upgrading outdated technology for missile components.
