Thanks, Ken. I just checked it out. Perhaps it is just the local company which does the test flights that worries about attention. I wasn't close enough to see the details of the hardware that appears to be mounted on the landing gear.

They are pretty secretive, and once asked me not to take closeup
photographs, because they don't want to draw attention.  From what I have
observed, they take various turboprop agricultural  airplanes and convert
them into "inexpensive" ground support aircraft for various potential
customers.  I have also seen specially-equipped helicopters for law
enforcement.  Whatever requires engineering design and modifications, and
brings in money.
That company that makes those agriplanes has the tactical versions
shown all over its website.
