Montana to host new military super range for advanced weapons testing

Donald Trump has announced plans to establish a new military “super range” in Montana dedicated to testing advanced weaponry and next-generation technologies. The announcement was made during a political gathering in Kalispell.

The proposed facility is intended to address the growing need for specialized testing environments that can accommodate modern warfare requirements. Key areas of focus for the center include autonomous weapons systems, space-based technologies, electronic warfare equipment, and supersonic and hypersonic munitions.

Existing military infrastructure is increasingly viewed as insufficient for the scale of modern development, which requires vast, remote areas to avoid interference with civilian communications and air traffic. The initiative aims to provide the necessary space for practical testing that cannot be fully replicated through computer simulations alone.
