The Department of War has launched an interactive public website to map billions of dollars in defense investments across the country.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary of War for Industrial Base Policy created the Investment Intelligence Center. The site displays more than $6.7 billion in Defense Production Act and Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment expenditures 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.”
Cadenazzi said the tool gives users a geographic and sector-based view of the spending through an interactive map, a Mekko chart, and a keyword portfolio search. Users can filter results by technology sector, year, location, and funding mechanism.
The office works with domestic and international partners to maintain a robust industrial base that supports the warfighter.
The department announced the site to increase transparency for Congress, analysts, industry, and the general public.
