With NASA and military interest in thermals, and the resources they have
to throw at the issues, what are the chances of reviving ideas for a
remote thermal detector system?

Simulations showed it could turn a typical UK blue day into a
record-breaker if thermals could be successfully detected at a distance.

The UK person working on it was unable to complete the development, but
I heard from other people (mainly in the USA) that similar thoughts had
been in circulation over there.

For purists, it could always be turned off or banned for
comps./records - and we could always go back to the primary glider vs
hot ship for silver etc. argument, for those minded to object to
technology advancing. (Again.)
