Free From Explosives Ammunition
The provision, verification, and certification of Free from Explosives (FFE) Ammunition are essential for ensuring that demilitarized munitions are completely inert and safe for handling. Through a rigorous process involving inspection, verification, and documentation by qualified specialists, FFE items are confirmed to contain no energetic material and to pose no risk of detonation. Once certified, these items can be safely used for a range of non-operational purposes, including as training aids. FFE-certified ammunition provides realistic, hands-on learning tools for personnel involved in explosive ordnance recognition, technical survey, and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) training. Their use enhances the quality and effectiveness of instruction by allowing trainees to become familiar with the physical characteristics, markings, and configurations of real ordnance in a completely safe environment. This contributes significantly to safer and more effective field operations, while supporting broader goals of risk reduction and capacity building in mine action and ammunition management.
