Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment
Abstract
IBAS mission is to strengthen the force posture and readiness of the U.S. Defense Manufacturing and Industrial Base to respond at will to national security needs. The IBAS program has a multi-pronged approach to identify projects: 1) assessments of the national technology and industrial base by the OSD Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L) office of Manufacturing and Industrial Base Policy (MIBP) as directed by 10 U.S. Code 2505, and 2) working directly with defense programs, and 3) working directly with industry. MIBP collaborates with the services and agencies in performing assessments under the Title 10 USC Section 2505 program to identify elements of the industrial base critical to a healthy defense industrial base: 1) Gaps in national-security-related domestic manufacturing capabilities 2) Threatened, single, or sole source capabilities especially within the lower tiers 3) Education and manufacturing workforce skills IBAS investments seek to ameliorate industrial base and manufacturing issues to strengthen the defense industrial base. All projects are evaluated for industrial base risk using fragility and criticality risk criteria, similar to the more familiar probability and consequence risk criteria. Fragility examines characteristics that make a specific capability likely to be disrupted. Criticality examines characteristics that make a specific capability difficult to replace if disrupted. IBAS currently focuses efforts and investments in four categories: Radars, Sensors, and Electronics Sectors; Materials Sector; Munitions and Missiles Sector; and Cross-cutting Supply Chain Vulnerabilities Mitigation.
