OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

This is a Hardware Orientated course and is directed to those Explosive Test 
Operators/Explosive Ordnance Operators who do both Live Fire Testing (with guns, 
explosive and launch devices), as well as those who do Non Destructive Testing. 
The Primary emphasis of this course will be Live Fire Testing, by those people 
who have conducted Live Fire Hardware Testing.
This course is also directed to the Engineers, Project Managers, Safety 
Officers and Range Officers who may direct or be involved with Range Testing or 
Range Operations.
