Energid’s ‘JTAC Strike’ drew lots of positive feedback at I/ITSEC’s 2007 conference in Orlando.  Conference attendees got to see first hand a simulated Close Air Support (CAS) mission using voice recognition and synthetic response from a virtual pilot.

Brian O’Flynn attended this year’s conference to demonstrate JTAC Strike as part of I/ITSEC’s Serious Games Challenge. This challenge recognizes innovative game-based technologies and solutions that improve training across all segments for individuals, groups and systems.
 
JTAC Strike enables full mission training and rehearsal. It includes a full CAS mission from check-in, to authentication, to target talk-on, to check-out.  The game is hosted on a standard laptop computer. The player's interface to the simulated pilot is pure voice communication and uses a standard headset and microphone. Both “big-to-little” and “unit-of-measure” methodologies can be demonstrated as well as the ability to request relevant visually-based information from the pilot.

JTAC Strike is enabled by Energid’s patent pending multi-modal context system that merges both visual and verbal references. The context system is a significant breakthrough in human-machine collaboration technology.
