Multi-Modal Command Recognition for J-UCAS Direction

An aircraft carrier’s flight deck is a thousand accidents waiting to happen… large, heavy aircraft must move nimbly about a maelstrom of men, vehicles, aircraft, and bombs. An aircraft moves safely only when the pilot understands the directors perfectly. Now take the pilot away... how can you achieve high sortie rates, reduced manning, and absolute safety with a “dumb” aircraft without the innate gifts of a pilot’s vision, situational awareness, intensive training, and instinct? This effort will build and test a combined system of motion and speech recognition to achieve Fleet operational requirements.
