Device for monitoring an ignition device

A device for monitoring initiation of a munitions system, the device comprising:

• at least one sensor in a region of a first ignition device for an explosive charge of the munitions system, and
• a control device for evaluating output signals of the at least one sensor, the control device being connected to the first ignition device in a controlling manner based on an evaluation by the control device,
• wherein the at least one sensor is arranged at an output of the first ignition device for subdetonative initiation of the explosive charge,
• wherein the control device is connected to a second ignition device and is configured to enable or to inhibit the second ignition device based on a signal supplied by the at least one sensor evaluated in the control device,
• wherein the at least one sensor is designed for sensing pressure, temperature, light, electrical current, or a changing of mechanical states,
• wherein the at least one sensor is arranged in, or in a vicinity of, a venting channel, wherein the venting channel is arranged between the first ignition device for the subdetonative initiation into an open environment to provide pressure relief, and
• wherein the at least one sensor is configured to detect physical effects of the subdetonative initiation.
