Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system and a method for dispensing detection of a pyrotechnical countermeasure in a pyrotechnical countermeasure dispenser system (1). The method comprises: —providing a pyrotechnical countermeasure dispenser control unit (4) with a recoil-sensing device (5), wherein upon activation of a pyrotechnical countermeasure dispensing command, —monitoring the sensing of a recoil signal (8) from the recoil-sensing device (5) during a monitoring window (6), —determining that a dispensing of the pyrotechnical countermeasure from a pyrotechnical countermeasure cartridge (3) has occurred upon detection of the recoil signal (8) exceeding a recoil detection threshold value (9) during the monitoring window (6), —determining that a misfire of the pyrotechnical countermeasure has occurred upon no detection of the recoil signal (8) during the monitoring window (6).
