The two keys to making the Pentagon’s synthetic voice goals a reality

Published on December 13, 2023



As the Department of Defense continues to invest in and experiment with AI, the days of using physical remote controls and relying on humans to interpret complex written commands and recommendations are ending.

AI-powered synthetic voice technologies are gaining adoption within military circles, as evidenced by use cases like the U.S. Navy’s testing of voice-directed drones, the U.S. Army’s plans to use “hyper-enabled operators” powered by voice-to-voice natural language processing, and intelligent voice commands to direct battlefield operations.

Indeed, synthetic voice has the potential to revolutionize every aspect of a soldier’s job, from making routine equipment maintenance more efficient to creating a safer and more effective warfare environment. Achieving this potential will be a highly complex undertaking that requires a different approach to data management.

Here are two factors that will drive the synthetic voice revolution and make it possible for the military to leverage this technology successfully and securely.
