1. With the benefit of hindsight, what steps could have been taken during development of the
Patriot software to avoid the problems that led to the loss of life? Do you think these steps
would have improved the Patriot’s effectiveness enough to make it obvious that the missile
was a strong deterrent against the Scud? Why or why not?
Maybe they should double check their program first, so that it will be successful and may not lead to loss of life.

2. What ethical decisions do you think the U.S. military made in choosing to deploy the Patriot
missile to Israel and Saudi Arabia and in reporting the effectiveness of the Patriot system?
They will just stay as friends as possible.

3. What key lessons from this example of safety-critical software development could be applied
to the development of business information system software?
They should check first that their missiles would launch in the place that it would be.
