Explosive ordnance refers to military munitions that are designed to explode, including bombs, grenades, and landmines. These devices can be used in various military operations and are often deployed to destroy targets or create obstacles. Proper handling and disposal of explosive ordnance are crucial to ensure safety and prevent accidental detonation. The term also encompasses unexploded ordnance (UXO), which are munitions that did not detonate as intended. UXO can pose significant risks to civilians and the environment, making their identification and removal a priority for organizations involved in demining and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD).
