The ground control equipment and non-payload spares will be transferred as well.

The sailing branch had acquired five BAMS-Ds and one was lost in a crash in 2012 while another was shot down by Iran in 2019.

NASA will operate the aircraft on behalf of the Pentagon’s Test Resource Management Center.
