Program Introduction
PE: 0607210D8Z
PE: 0607210D8Z
Statutorily Based
10 U.S. Code § 2508. Industrial Base Fund
1. Support the monitoring and assessment of the industrial base
2. Address critical issues in the industrial base relating to urgent operational needs;
3. Support efforts to expand the industrial base; and
4. Address supply chain vulnerabilities.
Priorities Significant Developments
• Prepare the defense industrial workforce - • Expanded use - Powerful authorities with built-in
Promote, elevate and accelerate industrial talent agility enables rapid pivot/re-tooling of programs
pipelines • Collaboration with allies – Building out
• Ready the modern DIB - Advance and sustain relationships around shared challenges
traditional defense manufacturing sectors • Workforce - National Imperative for Industrial
• Prepare for the future - Identify, attract, and Skills (NIIS)
cultivate emerging defense sectors – IBAS is viewed as a leader
• Assess and shape the risk - Mitigate supply – Targeting DIB-dense states
chain vulnerabilities within the global DIB
– Making gains in addressing shortages
• Build and strengthen partnerships - Collaborate
• Congressional Increases - Lead to big dividends
across the Global DIB
for DoD and program successes
DoD State of Competition Report
Directed by EO 14036 PE: 0607210D8Z
“To improve and maintain competitive advantage
as defense needs and technologies change,
manufacturers must retain workers with defense-
specific skills, upskill their workforces when
needed, and access the skilled workers to
modernize their production capabilities.”
“Today, DoD and other stakeholders are working
to reconnect the workforce development (training
and education) ecosystem, which includes
students, to defense industry needs.”
“These efforts include helping to recruit and
connect students and adult learners to defense
manufacturing employment opportunities and
incentives to develop the skill sets essential to
defense supply chains.”
“These efforts will improve defense
manufacturers’ access to skilled workers and their
ability to respond to emerging defense business
opportunities.”

National Imperative
for Industrial Skills PE: 0607210D8Z
• IBAS launched the National Imperative for
Industrial Skills initiative (the Skills Imperative) in
March 2020, to address critical DIB workforce
development issues
• Our Pilot Program Strategy describes our progress
to date
Workforce shortages undermine key elements
of the national defense enterprise:
• U.S. innovation lead—shortages jeopardize U.S.
technical overmatch
• Build back supply chains—shortages imperil supply
chain security and resiliency
• Production of DoD systems—shortages escalate
cost increases and schedule delays
• Defense readiness and posture—shortages hollow
out the force and degrade preparedness

Project MFG: Clash of Trades
PE: 0607210D8Z
• Project MFG is a catalyst that helps
elevate the next generation of highly
skilled trade professionals by changing
mindsets, fostering community
preparedness and challenging how the
critical skills needed to succeed in
modern advanced manufacturing are
taught.
• Competitions feature single and
integrated technologies such as welding
and additive manufacturing. “We lack the people to build our Navy’s
next generation submarines and ships.
• Challenges also include team We, as the U.S. Government can buy all
competitions using multiple technologies these weapons systems, but we can’t build
to create a product that requires them without the people.” - RADM Scott

Castings and Forgings
PE: 0607210D8Z
Cast and forged products are critical to defense and
are used in almost all platforms, most subcomponents,
and machine tools and other production equipment.
However, between 1984 and 2018, the U.S. lost 1,600
foundries and over 4,400 metal casting facilities. These
changes in the industry have displaced over 324,000
workers since the mid-20th century.
And…
“The U.S. casting and forging industry
faces challenges related to capability
and capacity, workforce, our own
government policies, and intellectual
property,” stated Mr. Jesse Salazar,
Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Industrial Policy.

Machining and Machine Tools
PE: 0607210D8Z
IBAS partnered with ORNL and IACMI to create America’s Cutting Edge (ACE) in order to
address the diminishing capability in the U.S. to design, make, and use advanced machine tools.
ACE Training Program
• Curriculum supports 67 in-person participants and
1,952 on-line CNC course registrants
• Completed 8 in-person bootcamps in 2021
Tap Test Technology (2021 R&D 100 Awards Finalist)
• Tap Test is a system designed to improve the
performance and cost effectiveness of both existing
base and new machine tools
• More than $2M in annual savings have been
achieved in U.S. machine shops using NC program IBAS Partners
modifications based on tap test results. • Department of Energy/Oak Ridge National

Strategic and Critical Materials
PE: 0607210D8Z
“The U.S. must ensure a domestic supply of the critical
materials essential to U.S. defense programs
Critical materials manufacturing is capital- and time-
intensive. Mining and processing concerns are risk-
averse while capital recovery times are long.
Furthermore, pricing of mined material is inelastic while
downstream manufacturers more rapidly change
suppliers and product formulations to obtain the lowest
cost source. Companies are disincentivized from
spending money on a project without surety of a profit in

Kinetic Capabilities
PE: 0607210D8Z
“Kinetic capabilities: Includes Precision Guided
Munitions (PGMs), Hypersonics, and Directed Energy
(DE). Key components ( e.g., critical energetics,
microelectronics) are almost exclusively produced by
foreign entities, including adversarial nations.” – From
Federal Register call for comments to EO 14017
report
“Our competitors have expanded the definition of
competition into economic and informational areas,
and aggressively advanced their own military
capabilities to hold our homelands at risk, both
kinetically and non-kinetically.
“We must outpace our competitors by accelerating
our own efforts to transform our culture, including
factoring homeland defense into every strategy, plan,
force management, force design, as well as the Selected IBAS Activities
aspects of acquisitions and budget so we can deter in

Microelectronics
PE: 0607210D8Z
“Because of targeted incentives and heavy
government subsidies by countries in the Pacific
Rim, primarily China, U.S. manufacturers have
lost much of their capability to produce
microelectronics, remaining active only in the
design phase.
“As a result, DoD has found it challenging to
secure technology for state-of-the-art
microelectronics and to sustain domestic
production for legacy microelectronics critical to
U.S. military systems.
“Irrespective of the U.S. longstanding record of Selected IBAS Activities
