  1. Defender Environmental Impact Lifecycle Analysis and Ethical Challenges Kirk Iler Brian Bentz Stephen Wolf FuheXu

  2. Environmental Impact Analysis • Manufacture: Hazardous chemicals used in manufacture of ICs and PCB. • Normal Use: Little environmental impact; relatively high power usage. • Disposal: ICs and PCB not biodegradable, however many components are recyclable.

  3. Addressing Environmental Impact • Manufacture: area of PCB will be minimized; minimum number of ICs used. • Normal Use: power usage will be minimized by controlling current draw. • Disposal: all metal will be stripped off turret to be recycled; Capacitors may be re-used (long life cycle); PCB and ICs properly disposed of.

  4. Ethical Challenges • Product Safety: High voltages, moving parts, and fast moving projectiles pose safety issues. • Security: ethical implications of causing bodily injury for security purposes.

  5. Addressing Ethical Challenges • Product Safety: • Warnings for high voltage and moving parts will be placed on turret base. • Stoppers will be placed to limit barrel rotation. • Large rubber stopper placed on back of barrel to inhibit back-firing. • LED and NEON bulb will indicate high voltages. • Security: if commercialized, background check required to purchase.
