The Department of War's (DoW) Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy (OASW (IBP)) announced today the launch of an Investment Intelligence Center interactive public website (https://www.businessdefense.gov/investments.html). The site provides unprecedented visibility into DoW's efforts to secure and expand domestic supply chains, mapping over $6.7B in Defense Production Act (DPA) and Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) investments made since 2015.
"A resilient defense industrial base requires transparent partnerships between the government and the private sector," said Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy Hon. Mike Cadenazzi. "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 Intelligence Center provides a centralized, interactive dashboard for users to explore DoW's work across the United States harnessing American innovation and mitigating critical supply chain vulnerabilities. By providing a clear geographic and sector-based view of historical investments, the tool enhances transparency for congressional stakeholders, defense analysts, and private sector partners.
The three different visualizations – interactive map, Mekko chart, and keyword portfolio search – enable filtering by technology sector, year, location, and funding mechanism. Together, they deliver a comprehensive view of DoW's trajectory toward onshoring critical manufacturing and reduced reliance on adversarial supply chains.
Industry partners, researchers, and the public are encouraged to explore the IBP Investment Intelligence Center at: https://www.businessdefense.gov/investments.html
