Abstract: A system and method are presented for identifying an object of value during a security assessment. The system includes an identification tag affixed to the object of value, an interrogator, and a data processing system. The identification tag stores information uniquely identifying the object of value. The interrogator includes a sensing antenna and electronic detection circuitry for exciting and reading back the identification information from the identification tag. The interrogator also includes a transmitter and a receiver. The data processing system includes a server, a data store coupled to the server, and a communication network coupling the server and the interrogator. When the interrogator transmits the identification information to the server, the server, in real-time, accesses the data store, retrieves information of interest to personnel performing the security assessment and transmits the information of interest to the interrogator for review by the personnel.
