At Richmond Defence Systems, we’re proud to support initiatives that promote safety, awareness, and collaboration across the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) community. That’s why we’ve recently signed up to support CAT-UXO — an organisation working to share open-source information on UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) and explosive hazards found around the world.

​

CAT-UXO runs a publicly accessible, regularly updated database that helps document and raise awareness of global explosive threats, from improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to legacy ordnance and conflict debris. By gathering this information in one place, CAT-UXO is helping create a central reference point for EOD professionals, researchers, and those working in related fields.

​

At Richmond, we believe in the power of informed decision-making and open discussion — especially in a sector where risk management and operational safety are critical. By supporting CAT-UXO, we hope to contribute in a small but meaningful way to the wider mission of improving access to information and encouraging collaboration within the global EOD community.

​

It’s important to note that, as CAT-UXO clearly states, their database is compiled from a mix of public sources and individual contributions. It’s not intended to replace official intelligence, training, or procedures — and qualified professionals should always refer to official standard operating procedures (SOPs) and employer guidance when operating in the field.

We’re pleased to back the important work CAT-UXO is doing and encourage others in the defence and security sectors to explore how this resource might support ongoing education and discussion around explosive hazard awareness.
