Abstract
A weapon training system including a magnetic sensor system is described. The magnetic sensor system is insertable into or integrated with a round of an indirect firing weapon and includes at least one magnetic sensor and a microcontroller communicatively coupled to the at least one magnetic sensor. The microcontroller is configured to perform operations including receiving at least one proximity signal from the at least one magnetic sensor indicating a proximity of at least one magnet of at least one charge to the at least one magnetic sensor, determining, based on the at least one proximity signal, that the at least one charge is removably attached to the round, generating an output signal indicating that the at least one charge is removably attached to the round, and wirelessly transmitting the output signal to an electronic device.
