Deploying; exploiting (5)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
