Quote:US and Morocco test a new cruise missile in the desertU.S. and Moroccan forces have proven out a brand-new weapons testing range in North Africa by firing a low-cost, long-range cruise missile across it, the first live-fire event ever held at the site, according to a report by Army Capt. Jordan Beagle of U.S. Africa Command. The demonstration ran from August 3 to 7 at the Africa Multidomain Training and Experimentation Center, a testing facility located near Tan-Tan in southern Morocco that the U.S. Army has been building out as part of a broader push to open military test ranges to private defense companies faster than the Pentagon’s traditional procurement process normally allows.
