The professional removal of explosive ordnance is an extremely complex task. Disposing of the remains of past armed conflicts safely requires the utmost care and experience. A wide range of hazardous objects, including bombs, grenades and ammunition, must be removed during explosive ordnance clearance and disposal. It is also necessary to dispose of parts of objects containing explosive or chemical substances, such as “unexploded bombs” – unexploded bombs that pose a persistent danger.

The local regulatory authorities, which specialize in the removal of explosive ordnance from past world wars, are responsible for civilian explosive ordnance disposal. Military explosive ordnance defense, on the other hand, focuses mainly on the disposal of post-war explosive ordnance and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

The continuous development of defusing technology and adaptation to new threats require regular training and further education. It is particularly important to simulate realistic defusing situations with highly realistic dummies.
