The Research & Development Division (R&D) serves as the scientific and technological backbone of the Enclave. This division is responsible for the development, enhancement, recovery, and preservation of advanced technologies critical to Enclave supremacy.

R&D personnel are classified as Strategic Assets. Due to the sensitive nature of their work, all R&D operations are conducted under maximum security and extreme secrecy.

R&D is tasked with the following:

• Weapons Development
  
  

  • Energy weapons (plasma, laser, prototype arms)
    
    

  • Experimental munitions
    
    

  • Advanced targeting and battlefield tech
    
    

• Power Armor Research
  
  

  • X-Series and prototype power armor development
    
    

  • Servo optimization and armor plating upgrades
    
    

  • Environmental and radiation resistance enhancements
    
    

• Biological & Chemical Research
  
  

  • Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV) studies (restricted access)
    
    

  • Biological warfare agents
    
    

  • Human enhancement and resilience research
    
    

• Energy Systems & Infrastructure
  
  

  • Reactor development and optimization
    
    

  • Power grid stabilization
    
    

  • Experimental energy sources
    
    

• Pre-War Technology Recovery
  
  

  • Retrieval and analysis of pre-War data, blueprints, and artifacts
    
    

  • Reverse engineering advanced systems
    
    

  • Secure storage of classified technology
