Abstract

The weapon system has a fire control system (1) and a munitions unit (3) that can be fired from a weapon. The munitions unit contains at least one electronic circuit (8) controlled by the fire control system, containing a microcontroller and connected to an external current/voltage supply unit. The supply voltage is modulated in a converter (2) with control signals from the fire control system that can be demodulated by the electronic circuit. Signals to be transmitted from the circuit to the fire control system are modulated onto the supply voltage by the circuit and demodulated by the converter.
