Claim 22:
23. A method of identifying and tracking targets, comprising:
in response to a determination that a target is in visual range of collection systems of a plurality of collection systems, capturing, via the one or more collection systems, one or more visual identifiers of the target;
in response to a determination that the target is in signal range of at least one of the plurality of collection systems, capturing, via the at least one of the plurality of collection systems, an electronic signal emanating from an electronic device associated with one or more of a person or transmitting vehicle components;
extracting an identifiable electronic signature associated with the target based on association of one or more identifying characteristics with the electronic signal;
determining if the visual identifier and the identifiable electronic signature are related based on (a) a frequency of capture of the visual identifier and the electronic signature and (b) a selected proximity of capture of the visual identifier and the electronic signature;
in response to a determination that the visual identifier and identifiable electronic signature are related, correlating, via an intelligence system, the visual identifier and identifiable electronic signature to the target to identify a target of interest; and
tracking, via the intelligence system, the target of interest based on one or more subsequent visual identifiers or electronic signal captures associated with the target of interest at one or more locations.
