Canada's (Gotta love them Canadians) National Research Council is working to develop Automatic control and landing systems for helicopters to assist pilots with the high-workload landing phase of flight, particularly in IFR conditions. The organization's VALET project, for Vertical Auto-Land Experimental Technologies, allows the pilot to give control of the helicopter to an on-board, automated control system that uses GPS postition and aircraft data to transition the helicopter from forward to vertical flight and then complete the landing phase.
Sorry for any grammer and spelling mistakes.
