Deploying; exploiting (5)
I believe the answer is:
using
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'deploying' is the first definition.
'exploiting' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for using that I've seen before include "Employing" , "Putting to a particular purpose" , "taking drugs" , "having recourse to" , "practice" .)
