The U.S. Army is making it easier for defense companies to test weapons on military ranges by introducing a new online booking portal. According to reports, the portal provides “concierge access” and allows companies to secure test-range time within about 30 days.
Army officials describe the change as a streamlined process for coordinating testing. The announcement comes from the Army’s senior leadership, with Army Secretary Dan Driscoll cited as saying companies can now book ranges through the portal rather than relying on longer, traditional arrangements. Coverage focuses on the practical impact for industry—faster access to range time—while providing limited additional detail across the outlets about specific requirements, pricing, or safety and regulatory adjustments tied to the new system.
