long-range
Spanning great distances
Long-range describes things that extend over great distances or far into the future.
A long-range missile can strike targets hundreds of miles away; a long-range forecast predicts weather days or weeks ahead; long-range planning considers outcomes years down the road.
The term contrasts with short-range, which implies immediate proximity or near-term horizons.
The company's long-range goals include expanding into Asian markets.
