Abstract
According to certain embodiments, an arming system includes a first logic device and a second logic device that are both coupled to a detonation circuit operable to initiate a detonation device. The second logic device is operable to receive one or more first signals generated by the first logic device, determine a first fault condition of the first logic device according to the received one or more first signals, and disable the detonation circuit according to the determined first fault condition.
