Summary	The proposed research is to develop an integrated MEMS-based miniature microphone system for directional sensing of sound similar to that of Ormia ochracea fly. The fly employs a unique coupled mechanical bar system to extract the direction of sound with ears separated only about 500 um. A set of such sensors can be used for pinpointing explosions by monitoring the direction of sound which can be deployed using micro air vehicles. In addition, a network of these sensors can be used for unattended movement monitoring.
