特朗普宣布在蒙大拿州建先进防务「超级试验场」 将测试自主武器、高超音速与太空技术
蒙大拿州卡利斯佩尔讯——据路透社报道，美国总统特朗普10月14日（周三）在蒙大拿州卡利斯佩尔举行的一场竞选活动上宣布，战争部将在蒙大拿州设立一处新的先进防务「超级试验场」，用于测试先进武器与技术。
据路透社报道，特朗普在活动上表示，该试验场涉及的领域包括潜在的自主武器、太空技术、电子战技术，以及超音速和高超音速技术。他还表示，蒙大拿州将帮助确保美军保持优势。特朗普没有在宣布中公布试验场在蒙大拿州内的具体选址，也没有公布投资金额和建设时间表。
据路透社报道，蒙大拿州现有蒙大拿航天港与试验场（Montana Spaceport & Test Range）及与之关联的石灰石山创新与试验园区（Limestone Hills Innovation & Test Campus），后者是一个公私合作的航空航天与防务项目，为商业、民用和军用用途提供测试设施与基础设施。特朗普没有说明新的五角大楼计划是否与现有项目有关联。
前情回填：本站同日已报道，特朗普10月14日晚在卡利斯佩尔的Majestic Valley Arena举行竞选集会，为蒙大拿州第一国会选区共和党候选人阿伦·弗林特站台；该席位因现任共和党众议员瑞安·津克退休而空出，弗林特的对手是民主党人萨姆·福斯塔格。此次卡利斯佩尔之行是特朗普在11月3日中期选举前为多州共和党候选人助选行程的一站，他当天早些时候先在亚利桑那州活动，随后转赴蒙大拿州。卡利斯佩尔人口约3万，位于州首府Helena西北约200英里（约320公里）处。
据路透社报道，一些军事规划者将自主武器、太空系统、电子战和高超音速武器视为未来作战的核心，其中包括无人机和超级智能平台。超音速武器速度超过1马赫，高超音速武器速度超过5马赫。关于该试验场的后续具体选址、投资与时间安排，截至发稿时，路透社报道中未见公布，本站将继续跟进官方发布。
蒙大拿州州长格雷格·詹福特（Greg Gianforte）在相关活动中承诺，继续与特朗普政府合作，支持边境安全、减税，并以「全方位」战略释放美国能源，包括蒙大拿州的煤炭。
Trump Announces Advanced Defense 'Super Range' in Montana to Test Autonomous, Hypersonic and Space Technologies
KALISPELL, Montana — President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday, October 14, at a campaign event in Kalispell, Montana, that the Department of War will establish a new advanced defense 'super range' in Montana for testing advanced weapons and technologies, according to Reuters.
According to Reuters, Trump said the range would cover potential autonomous weapons, space technology, electronic warfare technology, and supersonic and hypersonic technologies, and said Montana would help ensure the U.S. military keeps its edge. Trump did not announce a specific site within Montana for the new range, and he did not announce an investment amount or a construction timetable.
Montana is already home to the Montana Spaceport & Test Range and the affiliated Limestone Hills Innovation & Test Campus, a public-private aerospace and defense initiative that provides testing facilities and infrastructure for commercial, civil and military uses, according to Reuters. Trump did not say whether the new Pentagon initiative would be tied to that existing project.
Background from GSM's same-day reporting: Trump held a campaign rally on the evening of October 14 at Majestic Valley Arena in Kalispell to back Aaron Flint, the Republican candidate for Montana's 1st Congressional District. The seat is open because incumbent Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke is retiring, and Flint's Democratic opponent is Sam Fostag. The Kalispell stop was part of Trump's tour supporting Republican candidates ahead of the November 3 midterm elections; earlier that day he had campaigned in Arizona before traveling to Montana. Kalispell has about 30,000 residents and lies about 200 miles (320 km) northwest of the state capital, Helena.
According to Reuters, some military planners see autonomous weapons, space systems, electronic warfare and hypersonic weapons as central to future warfare, including drones and SI-enabled platforms. Supersonic weapons travel above Mach 1 and hypersonic weapons above Mach 5. No further details on the range's exact location, funding or schedule were included in the Reuters report as of publication, and GSM will follow official announcements.
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte, at related events, pledged to keep working with the Trump administration on border security and tax cuts and to pursue an all-of-the-above energy strategy that includes Montana coal.
