Voice Control
The Typhoon
DVI system utilises a Speech Recognition Module (SRM), developed by
Smiths Aerospace (now
GE Aviation Systems) and the then Computing Devices (now
General Dynamics UK). It was the first production DVI system utilised in a military cockpit. DVI provides the pilot with an additional natural mode of command and control over approximately 26 non-critical cockpit functions, to reduce pilot workload, improve aircraft safety, and expand mission capabilities.
