Morocco joins US missile testing sites
Morocco has become one of five sites operated by the U.S. Army designated for testing modern weapons, following its success in hosting the first test of the "Anthem" cruise missile developed by Covenant Industries. The test was conducted at the Multidomain Training Area in Morocco, as part of an American plan to facilitate faster access for private companies to military testing ranges. Companies can now request to use these sites through an online platform and obtain approvals within 30 days, a significant reduction from previous months or years. The program aims to foster military innovation and reduce bureaucratic hurdles, encompassing tests of missiles, drones, and anti-drone systems—even if these companies do not have prior contracts with the U.S. military. Morocco is viewed as a strategically important location for U.S. military testing in Africa, especially following the country's participation in repeated "African Lion" exercises and its host of recent military and technological experiments.
