Abstract
An ignition system for a munitions system which is scalable with respect to its power delivery and which includes two different ignition circuits for a sub-detonative and a detonative initiation of an explosive charge of the munitions system, wherein a control mechanism in a sub-detonative ignition circuit monitors function and thus prevents an uncontrolled complete power delivery of the munitions charge.
