Description
We propose to investigate the benefits of imaging polarimetry in multiple wavebands with the goal to reduce the workload of the Apache crew, focusing on the task load of the gunner. Imaging polarimetry has shown significant advantages under several conditions to outperform standard broadband radiometric imagers in locating targets and suppressing clutter. Multiple wavebands polarimeters have to date concentrated on MWIR/LWIR combinations. This effort proposes to investigate the VIS, SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR wavebands to objectively choose a combination of two wavebands for further development in subsequent phases of the effort.
