This section aims to assist MA organisations in the development of national threat analysis and operational threat assessment in accordance with Annex C of IMAS 07.14 Risk Management in Mine Action.
Both national threat analysis and operational threat assessment provide MA organisations with processes to systematically and consistently analyse IED threats. The intention is that this consistency adds confidence to decision-making associated with the IED threat. In IMAS, threat and risk are closely related, with threat being a risk that includes malicious human intent that will influence its nature and severity. This is a distinction made in multiple sectors that are involved in areas such as cyber and physical security.
ׁ REMEMBER. These processes are part of broader MA risk management systems that also include non-explosive risks.
