What type of ordnance is typically managed within a high-hazard impact area?

High explosives and sensitive unexploded ordnance are typically managed within a high-hazard impact area because these types of ordnance pose significant risks due to their potential for unintentional detonation and the severe consequences that can result from such events. High explosives have a rapid reaction rate that can produce a large amount of energy, making them particularly dangerous in the event of an accident or improper handling.

Sensitive unexploded ordnance, which may include items that can detonate under certain conditions, also represents a significant hazard. These munitions require special handling and management protocols to mitigate risks to personnel and the surrounding environment. Allocating a specific high-hazard impact area for these ordnance types ensures that there are established safety protocols and procedures to manage the risks associated with their use and potential unintended detonation.

In contrast, other types of ordnance like non-sensitive explosives, low-impact munitions, and unarmed ordnance do not present the same level of immediate danger that necessitates a high-hazard impact area. These ordnance types can be managed with less stringent safety measures, as they pose lower immediate risks during operations.
