Keywords: - - - WAPS -
" As a member of the Senate Armed Services and the Intelligence committees, I share your concerns about protecting the privacy and personal information of all Americans.

In fact, JLENS will indefinitely collect geo-location data on every civilian vehicle for hundreds of miles, data that can easily reveal the identity of those being tracked, even without the help of the immersive surveillance sensor networks
Keywords: - Surveillance - - JLENS - - WAPS -
Geo-location radar chronographs generated by JLENS are similar to cellphone metadata, in that they can be used to track individuals over time and across great distance. This geo-location metadata is used to form pattern-of-life data and map movements of individuals
