Versatile Simulation Testbed for Rotorcraft Speech I/O System Design

This paper describes the design for a versatile simulation testbed for rotorcraft speech I/O system design. This design will be implemented in the U.S. Army's Crew Station Research and Development Facility (CSRDF) under the direction of the Crew Station Research and Development Office, Aeroflightdynamics Directorate, OS Army Aviation Research and Technology Activity, NASA Ames Research Center. This testbed will be used to study alternative implementations of synthesized speech displays and speech recognition controls for the next generation of Army helicopters, including the LHX.
