Trump Announces New Military Testing Range in Montana for Advanced Technologies
US President Donald Trump announced plans to establish a new defense "super range" in Montana for testing advanced military technologies, including autonomous weapons, space systems, electronic warfare, and hypersonic weapons. The announcement was made during a campaign event in Kalispell, Montana, ahead of the November midterm elections. Montana already hosts aerospace testing facilities, but Trump did not specify if the new initiative would connect with existing projects. Military planners view these technologies as key to future warfare.
