Mathtech will investigate the feasibility, unique requirements, and testing necessary to upgrade our existing digital intercommunications system into a wireless bus architecture, specifically by interfacing the AICS to the AWICS. We will specifically investigate human factors issues including speech recognition as an adjunct to wireless use in the E-2C. We will investigate and propose solutions to increase hearing intelligibility for the headset wearer. Mathtech will research causes of decreased speech intelligibility when using the ICS with the OBOGS.
