Department of Military Development

The Department of Military Development (DMD) is the principal R&D branch of the Terran Armed Forces. It is responsible for the development of weapons and military strategies for the Federal Navy and Army. Though it principally works with the TAF, it is under the direct responsibility of MinBel. Its most important branch is the Bureau of Experimental Military Research, initially tasked with reverse-engineering duties but which now serves as a mixed intelligence and advanced-research agency.
