Abstract

We present an evaluation of a spoken dialogue system that engages in dialogues with soldiers training in an immersive Call for Fire (CFF) simulation. We briefly describe aspects of the Joint Fires and Effects Trainer
System, and the Radiobot-CFF dialogue system, which can engage in voice communications with a trainee in call
for fire dialogues. An experiment is described to judge performance of the Radiobot CFF system compared with
human radio operators. Results show that while the current version of the system is not quite at humanperformance levels, it is already viable for training interaction and as an operator-controller aid.
