Claim:
1. A method for locating an event transmitting a signal, including a measurement of the response times of the said signal by a set of sensors (A i -A m ), and a solution of a system of equations defining distances between the said sensors and the said event (S) as a function of a speed of propagation of the said signal and of an offset of the said response times relative to a reference time, characterised in that if the system of equations has no solution indicating the position of the event the method includes the following steps: recommencing several times the solution of the system of equations, by modifying with each iteration the response time of at least one of the said sensors, applying an increase or a reduction of the said response time by a percentage of less than a determined value, where the solution of the said system of equations is recommenced with each iteration, until the sum for each of the sensors (A determining the location of the event by calculating the average of the solutions obtained when finding the solutions of the said system of equations.
