NMSU Touts UAS Test Center Status

It looks as though New Mexico State University has sealed a deal to do some UAS testing for DARPA.  This is great, but they claim to be the only entity in the country that can test UAS in the national airspace system.  Sorry, but on the face of this it is not entirely clear what sets them apart from places like CIRPAS, or NASA's DFRC, the General Atomics development center in Southern California, or any number of other entities that - as far as I can tell - are already testing UAS in the NAS.  Maybe we'll get some clarification.
