This paper describes a range of opportunities for military and government applications of human-machine communication by voice, based on visits and contacts with numerous user organizations in the United States. The applications include some which appear to be feasible by careful integration of current state-of-the-art technology, and others which will require a varying mix of advances in speech technology and in integration of the technology into applications environments. Applications which are described include: (1) speech recognition and synthesis for mobile command and control; (2) speech processing for a portable, multi-function soldier's computer; (3) speech and language-based technology for naval combat team tactical training; (4) speech technology for command and control on a carrier flight deck; (5) control of auxiliary systems, and alert and warning generation, in fighter aircraft and in helicopters; and (6) voice check-in, report entry, and communication for law enforcement agents or for special forces. A phased approach for transfer of the technology into applications is outlined, where integration of applications systems is pursued in parallel with advanced research to meet future application needs.
