outrange
Fire beyond reach
Outrange means to exceed in range—typically referring to weapons, sensors, or capabilities that can reach farther than a competitor's.
A ship that outranges another can strike from a distance where it cannot be hit back: Their artillery outranged ours by two miles.
The term appears most often in military and technical contexts.
