Claim:
1. A method of locating a weapon, comprising: detecting a weapon firing event with an audio sensor system, the detected weapon firing event indicative of a detected firing of the weapon and indicative of a detected time of the weapon firing event; detecting a projectile fired from the weapon with a radar system; employing a processor configured for: correlating the weapon firing event detected by the audio sensor system with the detection of the projectile by the radar system to determine if the weapon firing event detected by the audio sensor system corresponds to the same projectile as that detected by the radar system, wherein the correlating comprises: calculating a state vector associated with the projectile detection; identifying a location of the weapon by backtracking the state vector to the detected time of the weapon firing event time; and communicating the location of the weapon.
