Unit Descriptor
This unit covers the competency required to conduct trials in an explosive ordnance research environment.
Explosive ordnance trials are normally conducted to select new weapons systems or explosive ordnance for introduction into the Australian Defence Force.
Application of the Unit
This competency normally applies to the individual who is required to prepare and conduct trials in the explosive ordnance research environment
Trials are a common component of explosive ordnance research and involve a large number of personnel both in their planning and implementation. Individuals however, may not necessarily be involved in both the planning and implementation of the research. It is common that individuals involved in the implementation phase of the trials are not involved in the planning phase. In other instances an individual may be involved with both the planning phase and the implementation phase of the trial.
