For those of you in drone development, certification, or operations — how are you actually handling testing? Specifically curious about:

• When you need EMC, propulsion, or flight envelope testing, where do you go?
• Have you been able to use IIT facilities, DRDO corridors, or DTIS-backed centres — or is access more complicated in practice?
• Are most teams just building their own rigs, sending hardware abroad, or finding workarounds?

Just genuinely trying to understand how bad the infrastructure gap actually is versus how it looks from the outside.

Would appreciate any honest takes, even if the answer is "we just use an open field."
