Abstract
Technological advances have had profound effects on
the conduct of military operations in both peacetime and in
war. One advance that has had a great impact outside the
military by reducing human intervention is Voice
Recognition (VR) technology. This thesis will examine the
implementation of a Voice Recognition System as a shipdriving
device and as a means of decreasing the occurrence
of mishaps while reducing the level of fatigue of
watchstanders on the bridge. Chapter I will discuss the
need for the United States Navy to investigate the
implementation of a Voice Recognition System to help reduce
the probability of mishaps occurring. Chapter II will
explain voice recognition technology, how it works, and how
the proposed system can be fielded aboard U.S. Navy ships.
Chapter III will examine the opinions (on the
implementation of a Voice Recognition System) of officers
charged with the safe navigation of naval ships. Chapter
IV will review the concerns of officers, and will justify
the implementation by answering these concerns. The
conclusion will iterate the advances in voice recognition,
and why a Voice Recognition system should be implemented on
the bridges of U.S. Navy ships.
