Humanitarian Mine Action
Solutions
Expert capability in humanitarian mine action (HMA), training and capacity building, physical security and stockpile management (PSSM), quick response force (QRF) and small arms & light weapons disposal (SALW).
Golden West Humanitarian Foundation delivers humanitarian mine action solutions at the intersection of safety, security, and humanitarian impact. From training national EOD teams in post-conflict environments to rapidly deploying first responders to munitions emergencies, our solutions span the full lifecycle of conventional weapons threats. Explore each capability area below.
Training & Capacity Building
Golden West builds lasting EOD and PSSM capability in partner nations, training local teams to international standards so that expertise stays in-country long after we leave. We operate a dedicated training and innovation facility in Cambodia, and have delivered programmes across ASEAN, Europe, the Pacific, Latin America, and Africa.
Explosive Harvesting Programme
In Cambodia, Golden West safely recycles and produces high-quality explosive charges, supplying over charges to the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) for use in safe landmine and UXO destruction operations. In partnership with the U.S. Government, this programme reduces costs and accelerates land release for communities living alongside a deadly war legacy.
Quick Reaction Force
When a munitions emergency strikes, speed is everything. As PM/WRA’s first-responder capability, Golden West’s Quick Reaction Force can deploy worldwide within 48-hours, securing unstable munitions, preventing loss of life, and protecting critical infrastructure while needs assessments guide follow-on response.
Military Explosives of Concern (MEC)
From abandoned battlefields to former test ranges, unexploded ordnance and discarded military munitions continue to threaten lives and land long after conflict ends. Golden West holds full ‘cradle to grave’ licensing, locating, identifying, remediating, and safely disposing of hazardous items to both MEC and IMAS Battlefield Area Clearance standards.
Public Safety
There is no peace without security. Golden West works with police forces and civilian agencies worldwide, from the Solomon Islands to Iceland, delivering EOD training, post-blast investigation techniques, case management skills, and arms management best practices to keep communities safe.
MODS & Mobile Cutting System
Golden West has developed two industry-leading ordnance disposal tools: the Mobile Ordnance Disposal System (MODS) — designed for complex render safe and exploitation by expert EOD operators — and the Mobile Cutting System (MCS), a fully transportable, remotely operated system compatible with 23,000+ ordnance types. Both represent safer, more cost-effective, and environmentally responsible alternatives to open detonation.
