An weapon localization system for determining the location of hostile weapon fire. In one embodiment, the weapon localization system includes acoustical detection means for detecting energy of a first frequency originating from said hostile weapon fire; and for transmitting a first set of data describing the location of said hostile weapon fire; optical detection means for detecting energy of a second frequency originating from said hostile weapon fire, and for transmitting a second set of data describing the location of said hostile weapon fire; and processing means coupled to said acoustical and said optical detection means, for receiving said first and said second set of data, and for determining whether said location of said first set of data match said location of second set of data and for generating a signal output if said match occurs.
