Just like every single, large technology company (yes even Apple) Google participates in plenty of contract work for the DoD. I wouldn't call it an R&D branch though but technically some contracts could be R&D.
Edit: not sure why I'm being downvoted; I worked in that space for 5 years. I've worked with many of the cleared employees of these companies on various projects. It's not a big secret or anything...

- BinaryIdiot 11y agoAn interesting point I'm noticing is that almost every time I start to get downvoted for something that is correct and I am able to edit my post to ask why I'm getting downvoted I have observed that: On HN: my original comment is almost always resurrected and eventually positive upvotes. On Reddit: my original comment is buried even faster. I should test using some controls (maybe post something incorrect) to see if the trend continues. My hypothesis is that HN is just a smaller, more niche and possibly better education group due to the content versus reddit.
