Expl Ord Disp Proc
This program, aligned with the National Defense Strategy, provides Joint Service Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and the supported Combatant Commanders with information superiority by providing for the development of Unexploded Explosive Ordnance (UXO), Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), and weapons systems Technical Manuals (TMs). TMs, which provide key identification features, hazardous materials, and safety information, are paramount to the success of EOD Mission to detect, locate, access, identify, Render Safe/Neutralize, and dispose or recover both foreign and domestic explosive threats that pose a threat to military operations, installations, personnel, and materials. In addition, EOD Render Safe Procedures (RSP) and Disposal Procedures must be developed prior to fielding in the case of U.S. weapons and ordnance and as soon as possible after gaining knowledge of existence as it pertains to foreign ordnance and other explosive threats. These efforts require collection, exploitation, and analysis of the ordnance items and associated components, e.g., fuzing, prior to the development of EOD procedures. As defined in DOD Directive 5160.62, assigns the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) the responsibility of Executive Agent for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technology and Training (T&T). The Executive Agent for EOD T&T is to provide for the preparation, technical development, validation, Joint Service approval, and distribution of all EOD procedures and countermeasures to include; publications, manuals, bulletins, texts, and graphic aids. This program is a non-acquisition program (without traditional acquisition milestones) with ongoing, continuous delivery of urgent and periodic documented procedures and publications for mines, ordnance items, weapons systems, Improvised Explosive Devices, Weapons of Mass Destruction, and related explosive hazards.
FY2027 planned work Render Safe Procedures Development supports development of new EOD Technical Manuals on foreign ordnance items and explosive threats with primary focus on items acquired or collected from Great Power Competition countries. Additionally, this funding line provides for the development, testing, and validation of specific EOD Render Safe Procedures to mitigate the threats posed by unexploded explosive ordnance (UXO) that do not currently exist. Further, this funding provides for development of new general EOD Publications specifically addressing tools, techniques, and procedures for use against Great Power Competition (GPC) emerging threats.
FY2026 to FY2027 change Increase is attributed to NWCF rate updates.
