Unconventional Weapons Response Handbook

Recognise and respond effectively to the use of unconventional weapons

Jane's Unconventional Weapons Response Handbook provides first responders with the pivotal information they need to recognise and respond to terrorist and criminal use of unconventional weapons. The detailed checklists and procedures outlined within the Handbook enable responders to plan for, respond to and recover from incidents involving unconventional threats, including the use of IEDs (improvised explosive devices), conventional military weapons, radiological weapons, lasers, radio frequency weapons or non-lethal weapons. Instruction covers a number of core areas, such as critical consideration of exclusion zone parameters, secondary devices (including command staff involvement in threats posed by secondary devices) and much more.

Key contents include:

Force protection and operational security
Planning and Mitigation
Recognition features and indicators
Response checklists for each type of incident
Post-incident management and recovery
Weapon effects and characteristics

The use of unconventional weapons of all types is an evolving and growing threat, as terrorist and criminal groups continue to develop new techniques and tactics. This informative resource is intended to fill knowledge gaps and be used in conjunction with locally or federally mandated policies and procedures.
