SECTION 3: ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
Add the following abnormal procedure:
Mitigation of Potentially Explosive Devices
1. Move the device to the airplane’s right forward cabin window.
2. If possible, attempt to secure the device as close to the window
as possible, using tape or any other means available.
3. Remove any portable oxygen, or other equipment that could
become a projectile, away from the area.
4. Cover the device with cushioning materials including but not
limited to clothing, cushions, followed by dry and wet blankets.
5. Move all passengers to the rear of the airplane and ensure their
seatbelts are securely fastened.
6. Descend to as low an altitude as practical.
7. Depressurize the airplane as soon as possible after descent.
8. Notify ATC and request assistance from appropriate agency.
Consideration should be given to the possibility of throwing
the device overboard through the baggage door. If the crew
decides to do this, the airplane should be flown to an area that
is sparsely populated and:
1. Descend to 2,000 ft AGL or lower.
2. Verify that the airplane is depressurized.
3. Extend the flaps to 20 degrees.
4. Move the device to the baggage compartment.
5. Slow to 150 KCAS.
6. Open the baggage door.
7. Throw the device out using a strong downward and aft motion.
Once the device is overboard, return the airplane to the
normal configuration and either continue to the original
destination or divert to the nearest suitable airport and report
the event to the authorities.

I think its possible to get permission from the FAA for your mission with a gulfstream aircraft, since they already have a procedure in place from gulfstream.
