First, I'm curious if they use a throat mike or something bone conducting.
Second, given how shitty voice interfaces are, I'm shocked they would use them at all. I assume the military funds a lot of EEG research- that would be ideal here.

- etrautmann 6y agoEEG requires highly stable signals. G forces would make any EEG measurements extremely unreliable.
- jandrese 6y agoAccording to the article the author knows of no pilots that use the voice interface. Given how finicky they are I can't say I'm surprised. Maybe with modern pseudo-AI systems they could be reliable enough to depend on, but none of that is in military hardware specced out 20 years ago.
- medium_burrito 6y agoIf you used the nato phonetic alphabet maybe, ie shortcodes for voice???
- jandrese 6y agoIt would probably help, but there is still the enormous noise floor to contend with. Jet Fighters are unbelievably loud. I mean that literally. If you've never watched one take off you would think I'm exaggerating the noise level. It's hard to describe because most people have never experienced something that loud.

If you're lucky, you have a set of "communication ear plugs" wired up to your helmet so the speakers in your earcups aren't trying to compete with engine noise and your ear plugs.
