The '''Department of Military Communications and Research''' was created by the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] to oversee the creation of fax machines ("[[Black box|black boxes]]") and research [[HPG]] technology. In [[3050]] there were at least 30 secret research facilities managed by the Department.<ref>''20 Year Update'', p. 16</ref>  
 
  
As time passed, the Department expanded its focus beyond communications technology. The researchers employed by the Department were among the first to reverse engineer captured [[Clan]] weapons. The Department also began overseeing joint research projects between the AFFS and corporate or educational interests.<ref>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 15</ref> These projects often make use of [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] or [[Technology Rating|advanced technologies]] developed at the [[NAIS]] and elsewhere. After the [[FedCom Civil War]] the AFFS kept the department intact.

As time passed, the Department expanded its focus beyond communications technology. The researchers employed by the Department were among the first to reverse-engineer captured [[Clan]] weapons. The Department also began overseeing joint research projects between the [[AFFS]] and corporate or educational interests.<ref>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 15</ref> These projects often make use of [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] or [[Technology Rating|advanced technologies]] developed at the [[NAIS]] and elsewhere.

Though capable of producing limited quantities of weapons and equipment for testing purposes (such as the Clan-grade [[ER Medium Laser]]s used on the prototype ''[[Pendragon (BattleMech)|Pendragon]]'' [[BattleMech]]<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Davion'', p. 7</ref>), the Department of Military Communications and Research leaves production level manufacturing and procurement in the hands of the Department of the Quartermaster and private industry. This frees the Department to focus on research-related tasks.
