A-10 / F-16 Three Dimensional Audio Integration (Air Force) - Contingent upon congressional appropriation and/or congressional notification
Abstract
Test and qualify a three dimensional audio system for the A-10 and F-16 Block 30 platforms. This system will incorporate active and electronic noise reduction, spatial separation of multiple radio channels from multiple sources, and three dimensional threat audio cueing from on-board threat detection systems. The primary output is that 3D audio automatically sorts and presents information spatially in real time to the pilot. This dramatically increases situational awareness and allows the pilot to respond quicker by reducing pilot and information overload. In addition, audio systems currently installed in both the A-10 and the F-16 do not have active or electronic noise reduction capability. Noise reduction all but eliminates outside engine and other noise clutter thus enhancing and facilitating audio communication to the pilot.
