Described herein in is an acoustic system and method for tracking and identifying trends or behavioural characteristics or properties of multiple sound producing targets or objects across a geographical area. The method and system may be used independently of or as a supplement to bespoke tracking technology associated with such objects or targets. The acoustic method includes repeatedly transmitting, at multiple instants, interrogating optical signals into each of one or more optical fibres distributed across the geographical area and forming at least part of an installed fibre- optic communications network. Next the method includes receiving, during an observation period following each of the multiple instants, returning optical signals scattered in a distributed manner over distance along the one or more of optical fibres, the scattering influenced by acoustic disturbances caused by the multiple objects within the observation period. The acoustic data is then demodulated from the optical signals and the acoustic data is processed to identify tracks made by the objects over a period of time across the area. Further, one or more characteristics of the tracks or tracked features, including start and end points, are analysed to identify relationship links between the dynamic objects and their locations or between the dynamic objects and other static or dynamic objects or fixtures or events in the geographic area for real time, historic or predictive analysis.
