missile testing

Rocket launch evaluation

Missile testing is the process of launching missiles to evaluate their performance, accuracy, and reliability.

Nations conduct missile tests to develop weapons systems or demonstrate military capability: North Korea's missile testing has drawn international condemnation.

Tests may be announced or detected by other countries through satellite surveillance and tracking systems.
