A system for tracking a fleeing vehicle, using optional remote sensing to identify a payload contained in the vehicle or asset, and an optional device disabling the fleeing vehicle via disrupting the vehicle's onboard computer or electrical system. The system includes a tracking device or carrier containing tracking components, sensing equipment, and the vehicle disabling device. A launcher of the tracking device may be handheld or vehicle mounted, and may use high pressure gas or another propellant to launch the projectile at a fleeing vehicle. The electronics package may include tracking hardware, sensing hardware, and the vehicle disabling hardware. Once launched and affixed to the suspect vehicle or stationary target, the vehicle's location can be tracked while sensors detecting any trace elements of explosives, IED (Improvised Explosive Device) materials, WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction), biochemical materials, drugs, or any form of contraband can be monitored from a safe distance. In the case of a vehicle or moving target, the vehicle may then be disabled from a safe distance if sensors detect any abnormality in the targeted vehicle's payload.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for tagging and tracking a target vehicle for the purpose of gathering sensor based information and deploying an electrical charge to incapacitate the vehicle, the method comprising:providing a launcher having at least one barrel, a carrier having an electronics package, and sufficient propellant to launch the carrier from the launcher in order to affix the carrier to a fixed or moving target at a range, the carrier electronics package having a tracking system, at least one sensor, and a vehicle stopping system;sighting the target vehicle using a target acquisition device;launching the carrier from the launcher towards the target vehicle;attaching the carrier, with the electronics package within the carrier, to the target vehicle, thereby tagging the target vehicle;causing a tracking signal to be emitted from the tracking system;receiving the tracking signal emitted by the tracking means, the tracking signal including information identifying the electronics package, location, and any sensor data;converting the received tracking signal into an image of the tagged target vehicle and sensor data;determining the need to stop the target vehicle based on target vehicle characteristics determined from the tracking signal and from the sensor data;displaying the image on a display system, the image representing the location of the tagged target vehicle and sensor data identifying a payload on the vehicle; andproviding a remote actuator for stopping the target vehicle using the vehicle stopping system that discharging electricity to incapacitate the vehicle.
