1. A sensor array system for detecting the position of an object or energy source, comprising:

  • a plurality of sensors, each sensor having a limited field of view and being capable of detecting an object or energy source that is positioned within its field of view, wherein the fields of view of at least some of the sensors overlap the fields of view of other sensors, the overlapping fields of view defining unique spatial regions; and

    a data acquisition system, operatively connected to said plurality of sensors, for determining which sensors simultaneously detect an object or energy source, thereby determining the unique spatial region in which the object or energy source is located.
