SNRI (Strategic Naval Research Institute) is a fictional Earth Federation think tank referenced in the Gundam series Mobile Suit Gundam F91 and the manga and kits Gundam F90. The think tank is notably responsible for the creation of the mobile suit F91 Gundam used by Seabook Arno to fight against the Crossbone Vanguard.

[edit] Institute History

After the events of Char's Counterattack, the Earth Federation instituted a new policy where they would be mindful of their military strength, yet try to keep costs down due the lull of activity. To achieve this, the think tank Strategic Naval Research Institute (or SNRI for short) was created in UC 0093 to achieve this. Little else is known about the think tank, other than it replaces Anaheim Electronics as the Federations preferred mobile suit supplier in the second universal century. Their proposals are based on a theory that wars would be won based on smaller, high-performance mobile suits. This eventually is showcased in their Formula Project series of Gundams.

Later in UC0153, Anaheim Electronics sponsored faction League Militaire used the basics of SNRI's mobile suits to produce their own mass produced suits LM111E02 Gun-EZ, later the improved model LM111E03 Gunblastor and the first mobile suit of V project LM312V04 V Gundam. It is believed that it obtained the patterned technology from its sponsor via Earth Federation forces which was then using older versions of SNRI mobile suits.
