US Companies Develop Voice-Control System for Tanks

Two companies in the United States are developing a system designed to let operators control tanks through spoken commands.

The technology aims to make voice instructions a means of directing the vehicles, potentially changing how crews interact with their controls.

The brief announcement did not identify the companies or specify which tank functions the system would control. It also gave no details on the hardware or software involved.

The system remains under development. No information was provided about testing, a deployment timeline or plans for military adoption.
