Orbit Communication Systems Ltd., a multinational corporation specializing in maritime and airborne SATCOM terminals, tracking ground station solutions, and other applications, has presented a novel adaptive noise reduction (ANR) technology enhanced with AI. This advanced functionality will replace pilots’ struggle with ambient noise and bring critical information with clarity. Altogether, this will enhance aviation’s safety and operational efficiency.
ANR enhancing communication clarity in the cockpit
The ANR system by Orbit is a smart speech recognition system that uses an adaptive spectral subtraction algorithm based on intelligence activation principles to identify and learn the surrounding sound at the microphone.
It ensures that the pilot’s commands and conversations are of the highest quality when operating and depending on the noise condition, even in environments where the noise coming from helicopter rotors and engines is too high.
This technology operates with the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithm that combines and extracts key frequencies from the transmitted voice signals and removes irrelevant noise components.
Consequently, words will be heard, and messages will be communicated perfectly to all crew members on board at the exact moment needed during the flight. The command process will be facilitated, and concentration will be improved.
AI on safety efficiency for pilots
Orbit’s diversified AI technology has undergone comprehensive proof of its capability to uphold two ways of communication amidst the extreme noise—that is, to the saturation of four times the common human-speech sound signal. It is more important for better flight command and communication, especially in the case of air control and other important missions where precision and reliability are crucial.
Daniel Eschar, CEO of Orbit, Elizar stressed that the primary task and function of nowadays ANR systems for aviation are: “Our upgraded TSM devices are now in use on every aircraft type, from trainers to larger mission and transport aircraft, including fighters. These platforms can experience significant in-flight noise that may lead to communication difficulties. We ensure they do not overwhelm the aircrew using our latest AI-driven ANR technology, which minimizes noise levels that can jeopardize external communication and the mission itself.”
Future improvisation and adoption
With the advent of humanized aircraft, noise decreases competing Orbit AI seems to deliver the next key step in aviation communication systems technology. With other issues like safety and efficiency still challenging many industries, such advanced tech solutions deployment may become a new normal in a short time.
Integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning into Orbit Company products will not only set a new standard for computerized aircraft control systems but also demonstrate the company’s potential as a leader in technological advancements within the space sphere.
The new aeronautical noise regulation (ANR) system is built for speed and functionality, so it is expected to gain traction among military and commercial aviation operators. It ensures that ideal solutions for managing noise and optimizing clear communication are provided.
Orbit Communication Systems has since remained at the border of the latest developments in aviation technology and continues to guarantee that one can afford to interfere with disturbing noise when in the cockpit for enhanced sounds.
