Environmental Impact Analysis as a Tool for Environmentally Sound Development

Abstract

All human activities cause environmental burdens. The question is whether these burdens are necessary and how great they will be. The amount of environmental impact of a system -- either a civil or military one -- is defined in the development process. So it is important to take environmental issues into account as early as possible in this process. Environmental issues must be an integral part of every development. The environmental guideline in the procurement process is to develop and to obtain defense materiel that fulfills the military and technical requirements and pollutes the environment as little as possible. For military items the main emphasis is on operation and disposal during peacetime.
