Flight Evaluation of Voice Interaction as a Component of an Integrated Helicopter Avionics System

摘要

A Wessex helicopter was used to develop and evaluate an integrated avionics system which incorporates advanced displays and a flight management system for military and civil applications. The system has automatic speech recognition and synthetic speech output. Flight tests were conducted to establish guidelines for the integration of these devices with advanced avionics such as color displays, digital maps, and touch overlays. The tests show that data input and retrieval can be achieved quickly, simply, and easily.
