which was basically an engineering research body which focussed on "engineering research for defense, natural resources, animal husbandry, fisheries, and utilization and processing of products." like the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The word jihad itself roughly means struggle/effort/contest, and common usage of the word is a bit wonky...
