Option 3 discussion . Having the IEDD operator return to the CP will mean they need to make a second manual approach. Whilst the second manual approach will increase the total time in the danger area for the IEDD operator, which is not ideal, overall it is safer. It will mean the IEDD operator can replan, return with two disruptors, and then conduct the render safe procedure (RSP) with disruption as the preferred means of neutralisation (see below). Both disruptors can be fired in series using the same electrical circuit, meaning that they will function simultaneously. This is the option that should be selected to comply with the IEDD philosophy for MA.
ׁ WARNING. This is an abandoned failed time IED. If the threat of an active time IED is identified MA operations should stop immediately. All MA staff and the community should be informed that there is probably going to be an uncontrolled explosion. MA IEDD operators are unlikely to be equipped or trained to deal with this highly dangerous scenario as actively used IEDs fall under the responsibility of security elements.
