Introduction
DARPA stands for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a research agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military. In 1970, among such technologies was speech recognition. As the DARPA's then-director George Heilemeir stated, "Get computers to read Morse code in the presence of other code and noise, get computers to identify/detect key words in a stream of speech, [...] make a real contribution to command and control, and; do a good thing in sonar"[1]. Thus, the main reason why it was the US Ministry of Defense who would fund such a project is that it could serve the navy's purposes.
Historical Context
There had been partially successful attempts to understand discrete speech (see, for example, Bell's Audrey) but no system to understand speech that is continious existed at the time[2]. Moreover, previous methods dealt with vocabularies no larger than 200 words (e.g., IBM's 16-word "Shoebox"), while DARPA's SUR aimed at a vocabulary with at least one thousand words.
