I would agree that collision avoidance or gliders represents a rather small market. But my thoughts only begin with soaring. Real time collision avoidance technology is applicable to many situations and industries. While Flarm boasts of 30K aviation installations, when you stop to consider other industries such as mining, construction, public transportation, shipping and others (basically anywhere there is an opportunity for traditional "see and avoid" tactics to fail resulting in financial loss), then the aviation industry and gliding in particular effectively becomes just a "tip of the iceberg" thing.

But then again, I'm a rather selfish bloak who's simply looking to leverage my way into a wildly profitable business relationship to support my continually growing addiction to soaring.
