Target areas for air-to-ground testing would be limited to five acres in size and there would be no more than 100 acres total designated for such use, the draft environmental assessment said.

Now if only they would call it a titmouse then they could have 1400 acres for testing.

We already have the space lasers, so with these planes in addition, we are going to be even better.
