@ion berkley,
My only hope here is, with the exponential advances in computer, material, mechanical and electrical sciences that a system which could drastically improve helicopter operation safety isn't left to collect dust on a back shelf somewhere.
Other than obvious military applications I think such a system would benefit the HEMS and SAR industry tremendously.
You never know, there could be some prodigal wiz kids at MIT right now reading this thinking to themselves, "I've got the key to make this work".
Since any development I could find ceased some years back maybe it's time to revisit the concept?
