Packaging Constraints Portability – Defender should be easily moved and installed. Weight – lightweight to allow possible mounting on the ceiling. EMI resistant – To protect circuitry from strong fields present in coil gun. Broad Firing Range – Must be able to target over a broad area. Keypad – Must be easily accessible.

Commercial Products Sentry Project Turret System TRT-25MM, or the Tactical Remote Turret (TRT).

Sentry Project Turret System Positive Aspects: – Portable and light. – Semi and full auto firing ability. – Movement detection. – Automated firing. – Interfaces with any triggered weapon. Negative Aspects: – Cannot interface with a coil gun. – Must remain stationary to operate. – No EMI protection.

Tactical Remote Turret (TRT) Positive Aspects – Adapts to a number of different weapons. – Operable during the day and at night. – Operable while moving. – Simple user interface (“Game Boy Controls”) Negative Aspects – Very expensive. – Very heavy – over 1000 pounds. – Meant for the field, not a security compound.

Packaging Layout Four major physical components: – Base: Divided metal box containing control circuitry, high voltage capacitors, and power supply. – Rotator: Uses stepper motors to aim the Coil Gun; Mounted on top of Base. – Coil Gun: Mounted on top of the Rotator. – Camera: Mounted on top of the base.
