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 that appear to be feasible by careful integration of current state-of-the-art technology and others that will require a varying mix of advances in speech technology and in integration of the technology into applications environments. Applications that are described include (1) speech recognition and synthesis for mobile command and control; (2) speech processing for a portable multifunction 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 helicopters; and (6) voice check-in, report entry, and communication for law enforcement agents or special forces. A phased approach for transfer of the technology into applications is advocated, where integration of applications systems is pursued in parallel with advanced research to meet future needs.
本文基于对美国众多用户组织的访问和接触，描述了一系列用于军事和政府语音人机通信应用的机会。这些应用包括一些通过精心整合当前先进技术似乎可行的应用，以及其他需要语音技术进步和将该技术集成到应用环境中的不同组合的应用。所描述的应用包括：（1）用于移动指挥与控制的语音识别与合成；（2）便携式多功能士兵计算机的语音处理；（3）用于海军作战团队战术训练的基于语音和语言的技术；（4）航母飞行甲板上指挥与控制的语音技术；（5）战斗机和直升机辅助系统的控制以及警报生成；（6）执法人员或特种部队的语音签到、报告录入和通信。提倡采用分阶段方法将技术转化为应用，即在追求应用系统集成的同时进行前沿研究，以满足未来需求。
