Hi ModalAI. Can someone clarify/explain to me what hardware components on the Starling 2 Max makes it NDAA-compliant but not Blue UAS? 
Additionally, I would like any updated information on the Microhard pDMML2450. Although it is on the Blue UAS list, it is considered as developmental (stage 3) and not operational (stage 4). Because of this stage 3 status, it is supposedly not allowed for flight on military installations.
Any insight or information to the above will be most helpful. 

The model I have is the MRB-D0012-4-V4-C29-M11-T8-K3.
