Another launch, in 2017, validated the guidance system of the weapon, Daae said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest test, which occurred at And\u00f8ya Test Center in Andenes, Norway, verified that the system could hit a target 130 kilometers away, Daae said. It was also used to collect detailed flight data, as well as measure the weapon\u2019s impact on the launch container.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest test follows
