The article scrutinizes the issues of professional training of internal affairs officers of the Russian Federation as part of practical training on the actions of police officers in explosive ordnance reconnaissance and explosive devices. The scientific literature on the problem under study is analyzed. Structure of lessons, optimal for the given topic, is suggested. It defines the importance of their structural elements. The methodology of practical training on the actions of police officers in the explosive ordnance reconnaissance and explosive devices is outlined. The role of theoretical questioning, discussion of training topics and solution of practical tasks is con-sidered. The algorithm of actions at explosive ordnance reconnaissance objects is formulated. In addition, the list of prohibited actions is defined, the most typical mistakes made by police officers in such situations are emphasized. The provisions formulated in the article may be useful for teachers, students and practitioners of internal affairs bodies.

International audience ; The storm as such is not a metaphor that is really abundant in the revolutionary archive; lightning and the storm compete with it, unless they describe the issues of the storm. When "storm" appears, it is divided into three uses. For revolutionaries who reject the legitimacy of popular movements, the storm is a tumult that must be nipped in the bud. A danger, more than an opportunity for ethical regeneration. To calm the storms in the plural, it is to calm the rioters, and thus to prevent the explosions, sometimes by fabricating, a consensus, a false concord by the elaboration of finally authoritarian festivals. On the other hand, for the pronounced revolutionaries, the storm serves both to evoke a precise moment, riotous or terrorist, unfortunately necessary, and to give a quasi-supernatural meaning to the French Revolution as a whole. These moments are considered as fearsome, that is why they must be avoided, they are dangerous, even if legitimate. It is necessary to measure the ideological gap that separates those who defend popular sovereignty from those who attack it.But unlike the meteorological storm, the political storm can be regulated. It is enough to do justice and to denounce those who organize, foment and want trouble. The metaphor of the boat without a captain in the storm, of the disturbing swell, is a recurrent one, first Victor Hugo and then Abel Gance use it as a motif to evoke these moments of uncertainty that hover over the revolutionary storm and before each storm breaks. But the revolutionary hope is the one where the storm will have instituted the good weather and the explosive sequence must be seen as both dethroning and instituting. ; L'orage comme tel, n'est pas une métaphore vraiment abondante dans l'archive révolutionnaire, la foudre, la tempête lui font concurrence, à moins qu'elles ne décrivent les enjeux de l'orage. Quand « l'orage » apparaît, il se partage en trois usages. Pour les révolutionnaires qui récusent la légitimité des mouvements populaires, ...

Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) present significant risks to mine action (MA) operators and the programmes within which they work. Such risks can be managed through well-informed risk identification and assessment, the avoidance of some activities, and the procurement/development of the necessary skills, equipment and procedures to address others. This study focuses primarily on improvised devices of the types that are currently encountered by MA organisations during humanitarian operations. The use of IEDs for terrorist purposes or as part of active conflict is not addressed in this study. While it is recognised that MA organisations may be present in places where there is a risk of terrorist attack, such events generally fall under the heading of security/law and order and are dealt with by military, security or police forces. The study draws especially on information relating to humanitarian IED disposal (IEDD) operations in northern Iraq, but it considers issues of importance to MA operators encountering improvised devices anywhere in the world.

The article suggests a methodical approach to determining the index of the explosive action of munitions during their full-scale tests and provides calculated dependencies for its determination. These dependencies can be used to automate the process of obtaining the initial data necessary for assessing the effectiveness of the munitions that destroy munitions, the solution of which can be used to predict possible damage on military highways while undermining various munitions taking into account various properties of the ground, as well as in innovative technologies for efficient construction roads. ; В статье предложен методический подход к расчету характеристик фугасного действия боеприпасов при проведении их натурных испытаний и приведены расчетные зависимости для их определения. Эти зависимости можно использовать при автоматизации процесса получения исходных данных, необходимых для задач оценки эффективности поражающего фугасного действия боеприпасов, решение которых могут применяться для прогнозирования возможных разрушений на военных автомобильных дорогах при подрыве разных видов боеприпасов с учетом различных свойств грунта, а также в инновационных технологиях эффективного строительства автомобильных дорог.

The purpose of this study was to initiate a strategic dialogue through an assessment of the explosive remnants of war (ERW) issues facing the future of the mine action sector in Cambodia. The report takes stock of the mine action situation, analyses the broad issues of ERW contamination and determines the needs for an effective long-term National ERW Response thrugh the process of "End State Programming". It is the first step towards comprehending existing explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) operational data and a wealth of un-analysed data on aerial bombardment that have not been fully exploited to define the scope of ERW impact on Cambodian society. The main finding of this report indicates the technical aspects of evolving an ERW Response to be less challenging than creating governmental impetus for strategic planning, organisational change, human resource development and developing appropriate structures, and facilities.

Hostilities in contemporary armed conflicts are increasingly being conducted in population centres, thereby exposing civilians to heightened risks of harm. This trend is only likely to continue with growing urbanization and is compounded by the fact that belligerents often avoid facing their enemy in the open, intermingling instead with the civilian population. Despite this, armed conflicts often continue to be waged with weapon systems originally designed for use in open battlefields. There is generally no cause for concern when explosive weapons with a wide impact area are used in open battlefields, but when they are used against military objectives located in populated areas they are prone to indiscriminate effects, often with devastating consequences for the civilian population.

As the commercial and recreative use of small unmanned aerial vehicles or drones is booming, so are the military and criminals starting to use these systems more and more. Due to improvements in flight stability, autonomy and payload capacity it becomes possible to equip these drones with explosive charges, making them threat agents where traditional response mechanisms have few answers against. In this paper, we will discuss this new type of threat in detail, making the difference between the loitering munition, as used by regular armies and the traditional drones equipped with explosive charges, used in guerrilla warfare and by criminals. We will then discuss what research actions are currently being undertaken to provide answers to each of these threats and what countermeasures that are currently already available and which ones will be available in the near future.
