Abstract
The invention relates to a method of determining the relative positions of components of a munitions system, the munitions system comprising a first component () and at least one second component (). The method comprises monitoring the output of a resonant circuit () provided on a first component (), the resonant circuit () having a resonant frequency, detecting a change in the output due to a change in the resonant frequency caused by a change in the relative positions of the first component () and the at least one second component (), and using the detected change to determine that the at least one second component () has moved relative to the first component ().
