An explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) apparatus enables a human operator to deliver an EOD neutralization tool via an unmanned vehicle to a target attached to a ferrous or non-ferrous surface, position the tool to the target, fix the neutralization tool in place, and activate the neutralization tool, all remotely so that the human operator is not in danger. The unmanned vehicle disengages from the remainder of the EOD apparatus prior to neutralizing the target so that the unmanned vehicle is not damaged or destroyed. The EOD apparatus includes a flexible web interface that positions a tool holder ring containing the EOD neutralization tool onto the target before finally fixing the EOD neutralization tool into place against a ferrous or non-ferrous surface.
