Airworthiness Authority and Substantiation Process

AATD has been delegated airworthiness authority in order to test manned or unmanned aircraft in support of Science and Technology insertion, systems engineering functions or Contingency Operations

This is manifested through the use of AATD Experimental Test Pilots, Army Aviators and crewmembers to implement major or minor modifications, UAS testing and rapid prototyping support to deployed forces.

Executed through a rigorous, stand-alone Safety Of Flight Review Board Process that is well-documented
