Enclave Research and Development Division

Research and Development (R&D) is the scientific division of the Enclave, and an interdependent, noncombatant subsidiary of the Enclave's Department of the Army. The division as a whole conducts all scientific research for the organization, inventing, manufacturing, as well as upgrading the Enclave's advanced technology.

Background
Performing research and development into new and/or improved technological breakthroughs for the Enclave, they are easily distinguished from the rest of the Enclave's membership because of the sensitive nature of their role, as well as their tendency to don either white lab coats, or airtight environmental bio-hazard suits with Plexiglas visors.

Appearances
Research and Development appears prominently in Fallout 3, and previously appears indirectly in Fallout 2.
