Summary	The objective of this research will be to examine the further exploitation of polarimetric imaging capabilities towards improving the functionality and depth of U.S. collection capabilities. Specifically, this research will focus on the application of polarimetric imaging techniques towards specific problem sets within the Intelligence Community by leveraging existing data sets/field work from SPAWAR SSC, and the Navy and Air Force TENCAP programs. This research will include consideration of polarimetric imaging capabilities such as cost, improving the end-user product and overall functionality. This research will also consider non-technical aspects of polarimetric imaging capabilities by developing recommendations to implement polarimetric imaging capabilities into existing data collection capabilities to achieve these goals.
