The Innovation Capability and Modernization (ICAM) office manages and executes the Department’s Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program element, which aims to improve the readiness and competitiveness of the U.S. industrial base by establishing high priority domestic capabilities for new supply chains needed for national security and mitigating exposure to global supply chain risks.

• Address critical issues across the DIB related to urgent operational needs
• Address supply chain vulnerabilities
• Support efforts to expand the DIB

Mission
