Abstract
This manual is aimed to be used by procurers, designers and armed forces in order to better understand how to manufacture munitions that are better for the environment. As can be seen when designing munitions in this way there are several benefits for different stakeholders. When you use a manual like this the general idea is to enhance the control of the products and in that way reduce the overall costs, environmental impact and other issues. The purpose of the manual is to provide a complete view, simply a system view of how ammunitions can be manufactured in a more environmentally adapted way. Therefore this manual discusses topics, for example construction issues and choice of materials, aimed at changing the ideas, or at least raise the awareness, of how to design environmental adapted munitions.
