yes, but IIRC the author has copyright problems from his university which wouldn't let him release it as GPL. Otherwise it would have replaced r.los a long time ago. IIRC2 as mentioned in the Google SOC project thread that even with the r.cva improvements the base r.los algorithm is badly inefficient, and could be implemented a lot better.
