1. A vehicle health management system for sensor management comprising: a plurality of sensors; anda sensor controller node communicatively coupled to said plurality of sensors, said sensor controller node configured to identify a sensor status associated with at least one sensor of said plurality of sensors, determine an acquisition strategy for obtaining sensor information based on the sensor status, and command the at least one of sensor to acquire data based on the acquisition strategy. 2. A vehicle health management system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said plurality of sensors are wireless sensors, and are communicatively coupled to the sensor controller node wirelessly. 3. A vehicle health management system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said sensor controller node is further configured to determine the acquisition strategy based on energy limitations associated with at least one of said plurality of sensors. 4. A vehicle health management system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said sensor controller node is further configured to determine the acquisition strategy based on a diagnostic strategy associated with said system. 5. A vehicle health management system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said sensor controller node is further configured to determine the acquisition strategy based on at least one of a flight regime, an in-flight event, and a pre-determined event associated with a platform on which said system is deployed. 6. A vehicle health management system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said sensor controller node is further configured to determine the acquisition strategy based on management of usage of said node and said plurality of sensors based on energy limitations of an energy harvesting system associated with said system. 7. A vehicle health management system in accordance with claim 1, further comprising: at least one area sensor; andan area sensor node, said area sensor node in communication with said at least one area sensor and said sensor controller node. 8. An aircraft comprising: a vehicle health management system comprising: a plurality of sensors; anda sensor controller node communicatively coupled to said plurality of sensors, said sensor controller node configured to identify a sensor status associated with at least one sensor of said plurality of sensors, determine an acquisition strategy for obtaining sensor information based on the sensor status, and command the at least one of sensor to acquire data based on the acquisition strategy. 9. An aircraft in accordance with claim 8, wherein said plurality of sensors are wireless sensors, and are communicatively coupled to the sensor controller node wirelessly. 10. An aircraft in accordance with claim 8, wherein said sensor controller node is further configured to determine the acquisition strategy based on energy limitations associated with at least one of said plurality of sensors. 11. An aircraft in accordance with claim 8, wherein said sensor controller node is further configured to determine the acquisition strategy based on a diagnostic strategy associated with said system. 12. An aircraft in accordance with claim 8, wherein said sensor controller node is further configured to determine the acquisition strategy based on at least one of a flight regime, an in-flight event, and a pre-determined event associated with a platform on which said system is deployed. 13. An aircraft in accordance with claim 8, wherein said sensor controller node is further configured to determine the acquisition strategy based on management of usage of said node and said plurality of sensors based on energy limitations of an energy harvesting system associated with said system. 14. An aircraft in accordance with claim 8, further comprising: at least one area sensor; andan area sensor node, said area sensor node in communication with said at least one area sensor and said sensor controller node. 15. A method for sensor management of a vehicle using a vehicle health management system, said method comprising: providing a plurality of sensors;communicatively coupling a sensor controller node to the plurality of sensors;identifying a sensor status associated with at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors;determining an acquisition strategy for obtaining sensor information based on the sensor status; andcommanding the at least one sensor to acquire data based on the acquisition strategy. 16. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein determining an acquisition strategy further comprises determining the acquisition strategy based on energy limitations associated with at least one sensor. 17. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein determining an acquisition strategy further comprises determining the acquisition strategy based on a diagnostic strategy associated with the health management system. 18. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein determining an acquisition strategy further comprises determining the acquisition strategy based on at least one of a flight regime, an in-flight event, and a pre-determined event associated with a platform on which the health management system is deployed. 19. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein determining an acquisition strategy further comprises determining the acquisition strategy based on management of usage of the sensor controller node and the plurality of sensors based on energy limitations of an energy harvesting system associated with the health management system. 20. A method in accordance with claim 15, wherein providing a plurality of sensors further comprises providing a plurality of wireless sensors.
