The missile industrial base is a subset of the U.S. defense industrial base (DIB) that is focused on the manufacturing of missiles and the associated components, technologies, and material supply chain.
The U.S. defense industrial base (DIB) is the network of organizations, facilities, and resources that provides the U.S. government—particularly the Department of War (DOW)— with defense-related materials, products, and services. The DIB enables the United States to execute national strategy and develop, maintain, and project military power.

It is bad due to decades of neglect. A report from the Center for New American Security (CNAS) describes it thoroughly.
“The U.S. defense industrial base (DIB) is struggling to meet the demands of the current strategic environment. The DIB cannot keep pace with defense modernization efforts while also filling the massive demand for defense items in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific. It is struggling to simultaneously meet the current needs of the U.S. military and America’s allies and partners while preparing for future challenges.”

The U.S. Government is committing significant resources into the DIB: $70B in FY27 budgets for industrial base initiatives through Defense Production Act Programs (DPAP or DPA), also known as Title III, and the Industrial Base Fund (IBF), formerly known as Innovation Capability and Modernization (ICAM)/ Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS).
- DPA, Title III is executed through the DIB Consortium (DIBC)
- IBF is executed through the Cornerstone Other Transaction Authority (COTA). A key initiative within COTA is the Strengthening Americans Manufacturing Defense Industrial Base (SAMDIB)
The Warfighting, Investments, Resourcing, and Execution (WIRE) office oversees the DPA and IBF authorities. It is under Industrial Base Policy (IBP) and Industrial Base Resilience (IBR) within the Office of the Secretary of War (OSW), Acquisition & Sustainment (A&S)
Within IBP, IBR, and the WIRE office, there are eight (8) strategic focus areas that identifies the current priorities for funding within the DIB.
- Kinetic Capabilities
- Sea, Land, Air, Space, and Unmanned Systems
- Strategic and Critical Materials
- Critical Chemicals
- Energy Storage and Batteries
- Microelectronics, Comms, and Sensors
- Manufacturing
- Workforce
