FY2024 NDAA: Defense Industrial Base Policy



August 15, 2023


Background

The defense industrial base (DIB) is the network of organizations, facilities, and resources that supplies
the U.S. government-particularly the Department of Defense (DOD)-with materials, products, and
services for defense purposes. The DIB is large and complex, encompassing private and public entities
engaged in activities ranging from basic research to the assembly and delivery of complete weapons
systems (for more information, see CRS In Focus IF 10548, Defense Primer: U.S. Defense Industrial
Base). Given its role in enabling military operations, the DIB tends to receive considerable attention from
Congress, particularly as part of the annual defense authorization and appropriation process.
The House-passed (H.R. 2670) and Senate-passed (S. 2226) versions of a National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY2024 NDAA) each contain numerous provisions that would modify or
establish DIB-related programs or policy. Table 1 below summarizes key provisions from H.R. 2670 and
S. 2226.

DIB Investments and Incentives


Sec. 853 would direct DOD to establish a public-private
partnership pilot program that would create incentives
(including loan guarantees) for private equity investment in
small or nontraditional defense contractors.
Sec. 862 would amend 10 U.S.C. §4817(d) to allow for use
of the Industrial Base Fund to support recruitment, training,
and retention of the large surface combatant workforce.


Sec. 831 in S. 2226 is similar to Sec. 853 in H.R. 2670.



No similar provision.
