NISAR

After the shuttering of Saotome Labs by the Japanese government in response to the Manhattan Island incident, Prime Minister Yumi formed the Japan International Aerospace Corporation (NISAR). Many of the assets formerly held by Saotome Labs were merged with those of the Photon Power Lab; those that were not now fall under the NISAR banner.

NISAR is both a special operations unit (a role in which it is a subsidiary of NERV) and an arms manufacturer. NISAR has also developed several pseudo-Getters using a plasma reactor that uses a much smaller amount of Photon Power as a catalyst.

NISAR's mass-produced "super robots" are unusually large for mass production units, standing easily 30 meters and built in the generally-loathed image of Getter Robo. They are large enough to operate the same conventional arms as NERV's Evangelion units and Brave Corps, however, and often serve in support roles for said machines.
