Aural Communication in Aviation.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA103395 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The importance of aural information in aerospace operations is secondary only to visual information yet, despite the dependence of military operations on reliable voice communication and the effective use of audio warnings, many of the systems currently employed have serious shortcomings and do not reflect the considerable research effort that has been expended in this area. The Aerospace Medical Panel AMP of AGARD considered it to be timely to discuss this topic, so that there could be a wider understanding of the problems of speech recognition in aircraft noise, the causal mechanisms of subsequent aviator hearing loss and of the latest developments in research to combat the shortcomings in voice communications systems.
