Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) is a specialized field focused on the detection, identification, evaluation, and neutralization of explosive devices. EOD technicians are trained to handle various types of ordnance, including landmines, unexploded bombs, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Their work is crucial in ensuring public safety, especially in conflict zones or areas affected by military operations.
EOD teams use a range of tools and techniques to safely disarm or destroy explosives. This may involve robotic systems for remote handling, specialized suits for personal protection, and controlled detonation methods. The goal of EOD is to minimize risks and protect lives while managing hazardous materials effectively.
