The first free-flight test of an unarmed U.S. cruise missile in Canada will take place Tuesday, the National Defense Ministry in Ottawa announced. The missile will be launched by a B-52 over the Beaufort Sea and follow a 1,600-mile flight south and west across northeast British Columbia and northern Alberta to the Primrose Lake Air Weapons Range at Cold Lake, Alberta. The route is similar to the first U.S. cruise test, conducted Jan. 15, in which the missiles were attached to an aircraft.
