The Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy recently announced the launch of an Investment Intelligence Center interactive public website.
The Intelligence Center provides a centralized, interactive dashboard for users to explore the Defense Department’s work regarding innovation and mitigating critical supply chain vulnerabilities. The website provides a geographic and sector-based view of more than $6.7 billion in Defense Production Act (DPA) and Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) investments made since 2015.
Users can select from three different visualizations – interactive map, Mekko chart, and keyword portfolio search – and can filter by technology sector, year, location, and funding mechanism.
“A resilient defense industrial base requires transparent partnerships between the government and the private sector,” Mike Cadenazzi, assistant secretary of defense for industrial base policy, said. “By openly mapping our DPA and IBAS investments, we are sending a clear demand signal to industry and private capital markets about our most critical national security priorities.”
The tool is designed to enhance transparency for congressional stakeholders, defense analysts, and private sector partners.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy works with domestic and international partners to create and sustain a robust, secure, and resilient industrial base enabling the warfighter in the present and future.
