2.6.4.OTHER CONSIDERATIONS Incidents incorporating projected devices present significant challenges. MA IEDD operators should not be involved in an ongoing active situation. However, given their popularity it is likely that MA organisations will encounter abandoned projected IEDs. Where a projected IED is discovered, MA operators should consider the possibility of further IEDs still in the launch system, blinds on the flight path and blinds in the impact area. This will be entirely situation specific and may not be relevant. The range of these systems varies significantly (up to several kilometres), this by itself can make a projected IED task extremely difficult.
ׁ WARNING. It is a common NSAG tactic to place further VOIEDs or AP mines at a launch site to protect the projected IED and / or target security force personnel.
