Current Military/Government Applications for Speech Recognition

This paper presents an overview of several military/government programs in which SCI Technology has implemented and tested its speech recognition technology. Included are: 1) the Speckled Trout (U.S. Air Force), 2) LHX (Light Helicopter Experimental, U.S. Army), 3) Space Shuttle (NASA), 4) Space Station, 5) AFTI F-16, and 6) ATF (Advanced Tactical Fighter). Some of the programs consist of technology demonstrations, while others involve flight testing and one, Speckled Trout, operationally installing and utilizing a system on a continual basis. In some cases, the hardware consists of a SCI Voice Control Unit (VCU-5137) and others, a Voice Development System (VDS-7001).
