Abstract: A method for identifying a muzzle blast within a signal generated by an array of acoustic sensors forming an antenna comprises defining a width for a time window corresponding to a time required for the muzzle blast to traverse the array of acoustic sensors and detecting a shockwave within the generated signal. After detecting the shockwave, total energy of the generated signal in a series of consecutive time windows as a function of time and as a function of the number of acoustic sensors that generated the signal is measured, each time window having the defined width. One of the consecutive time windows having a measured total energy greater than each of the remainder of the consecutive time windows is identified; and the identified time window is associated as corresponding to the muzzle blast.
