A combination of state of the art speech recognition technology and artificial intelligent systems created Intelligent Communications Environment (ICE).

ICE is a software system designed to be a single and portable device capable of teaching students proper aviation phraseology and procedures. This learning event is accomplished while immersing the student in a “live aviation communication environment”. Two distinct modes of training optimise student learning potential, student throughput and minimises overall training time.

ICE utilises speech recognition as its primary student interface. The speech system allows course administrators the capability of measuring the accuracy, quality and timeliness of the student responses and the correct phraseology of radio communications. The ICE Assessment Tool provides immediate feedback to the student and instructor. The assessment identifies and quantifies areas in need of further development. The ICE system has achieved 98% accuracy during system acceptance training.

The training system is both portable and flexible. It can be configured on a laptop, desktop and networked with multiple ICE applications via a server. Networking allows the instructor to provide classroom teaching/coaching to a large body of students, as well as the flexibility of interfacing with a student learning management system (LMS).
