This application describes methods and apparatus for tracking targets in a fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) network. The DAS network comprises a plurality of interrogator units interrogating sensing fibers deployed along paths of interest to provide DAS sensors. Targets are tracked at each of a plurality of tracker nodes of the DAS network, where each tracker node receives measurement signals from one or more DAS sensors and applies a tracking algorithm to track any targets in a respective tracker zone. Each tracker node maintains, for each target, a tracking dataset of target properties for tracking that target. The method involves identifying when a first target in a first tracker zone of a first tracker node is approaching a second tracker zone of a second tracker nod and supplying for the first tracker node to the second tracker node a Target Descriptor for the first target.
