1. Navy LCDR George Sullivan, speaking at the ACM SIGAda Summer '88
Conference in Princeton NJ, said the Navy policy changed in 1985 from
"standard hardware 1st" to "Ada 1st." (I.e., "Damn the AN/UYKs and
full speed ahead!")
2. The Navy has pressed forward with ALS/N, released it to the user
community, and continued to improve it (thus solving the Ada AN/UYK
problem).
3. Several defense contractors, including Raytheon, are working on
important embedded Ada weapon systems for NAVSEA and NAVAIR.
