It has long been recognised that the use of automatic speech recognition has the potential to be of considerable help to the crew of military fast jets. Past trials and simulation experiments have shown that the error rates of the ASR equipment used was not low enough for the benefits to be realised in practice. The most recent flight trials conducted by DRA have shown large improvements in recognition accuracy, and have been received favourably by the aircrew. An accuracy of over 95% has been achieved for command phrases in straight and level flight and simulated terrain avoidance. This level of accuracy is believed to be adequate for operational use. The subjects' subjective ratings of the recognition accuracy were "acceptable" or better in over 70% of cases.
