Submarine Industrial Base Council
Advocating for the U.S. submarine industrial base, enhancing national security through supplier collaboration and legislative engagement.
The Submarine Industrial Base Council (SIBC) plays a pivotal role in supporting the U.S. submarine force by advocating for the industrial base that supplies critical components and services. Operating within the defense sector, SIBC serves as a bridge between suppliers and government entities, ensuring that legislative priorities align with the needs of the submarine industry. The council invites suppliers to become members, fostering a collaborative environment to strengthen the industrial base. SIBC's business model revolves around membership and advocacy, organizing events such as the annual Supplier Days to facilitate dialogue between suppliers and policymakers. By promoting the value of the industrial base, SIBC contributes to maintaining a robust and secure national defense posture. Key programs include the SSBN and SSN/SSGN initiatives, which underscore the importance of nuclear deterrence and undersea warfare capabilities. The council's efforts are crucial in preserving the operational readiness and technological superiority of the U.S. submarine fleet.
