missile range
Weapon's travel capability
A missile range is a designated area—typically vast and remote—where missiles are tested, tracked, and evaluated.
The term also refers to the maximum distance a missile can travel: The new warhead has a range of 500 miles.
Military facilities like White Sands Missile Range combine both senses: a place for testing weapons across their full operational range.
