Why is the ordnance survey called the ordnance survey?

The name dates back to World War II. Much of the mapping carried out during the war was done by the Department of Ordnance (the guys who take care of munitions, artillery, tanks etc.).

Is explosive ordnance that has been fused and then dropped?

Explosive ordnance that has been fused and then dropped is considered to be armed and potentially dangerous. The fusing process typically prepares the ordnance for detonation upon impact or under specific conditions. If such ordnance does not detonate upon impact, it remains a significant hazard, often classified as unexploded ordnance (UXO), which poses risks to civilians and requires careful handling and disposal. Proper identification and clearance by trained professionals are essential to mitigate these dangers.
