What constitutes “passive ordnance” in military terms?

Had someone include this on their resume and was curious since I could not find a definitive answer via web search. I gather it is “non-smart” munitions/bombs?

You are correct. Passive ordinance are projectiles that can’t be controlled once launched or do not change trajectory mid flight. Example mortar shells. You calculate the trajectory, made adjustments, launch, get a radio report about the error, adjust your calculations, repeat.
