1. A method of locating an acoustic source using a plurality of vehicles, comprising:

  • transferring acoustic input from a plurality of sensors to a plurality of processing modules, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is coupled to one of the plurality of processing modules, and wherein each of the plurality of vehicles includes at least one of the plurality of sensors and one of the plurality of processing modules;

    determining a location of each of the plurality of vehicles using at least one of a global positioning system module and an inertial motion unit module located in each vehicle;

    processing, at each of the plurality of processing modules, the received acoustic input;

    designating one of the plurality of processing modules a master processing module;

    sending processed acoustic input received at each processing module to the master processing module;

    combining the processed acoustic input at the master processing module; and

    estimating acoustic source location based on combined processed acoustic data.
