Sci-Fi Radio 18 - Imposter by Philip K. Dick
This is a PKD story about a person who is accused of being an android impersonator planted to carry out a strategic suicide attack. I think Mindwebs did a version of this and if it wasn't them it was Exploring Tomorrow or X Minus One. I preferred the other version because this one has intrusive commentary on the protagonist's position and I don't think the other one did.
This version, on the other hand, seems to involve a much smaller explosion, which would explain why the double needed to get close to its target. If I had been the Outspacers, I would have gone for a dog double. Nobody ever expects the dog to be the ringer.
