testing under the observation of FAA representatives; and durability
and reliability (D&R) testing in accordance with the FAA-approved
Test Plan. These operations will occur at Griffiss UAS Test Site in
New York. The UAS will be operating with a special airworthiness
certificate in the experimental category and a civil Certificate of
Waiver or Authorization.
