@whoknows idont,
I'm sure the engineers and patent holders were hoping to gain 360* situational awareness and all-weather, day/night operational ability out of a rotorcraft platform. Personally I can think of one particular outfit that could significantly benefit from the technology......160th S.O.A.R. although they seem to do just fine without.
Computer software can stabilize virtually any image as for the rotor tip speed that too can be slowed and stabilized digitally so the image could very likely be HD.
I'm not the one driving this, just curious why with all the research and patents it's not made available. It just seems to me to offer so much in safety especially for SAR applications that the manufacturers would be clamoring to make it available.
