Spoken Language Communication and Translation System for Tactical Use (TRANSTAC)
Program Manager: Dr. Mari Maeda
Mission:
Today, phrase-based translation devices are being tactically deployed. These one-way devices translate English input into pre-recorded phrases in target languages. While such systems are useful in many operational settings, the inability to translate the foreign speech into English is a significant limitation. The mission of the Spoken Language Communication and Translation System for Tactical Use (TRANSTAC) program is to demonstrate capabilities to rapidly develop and field two-way translation systems that enable speakers of different languages to spontaneously communicate with one another in real-world tactical situations.
