Originator: warack@dip.eecs.umich.edu List-Id: Coincident with the discussion here on "tools," Aviation Week has a short article in it's "Electronic Intelligence" summary. Reproduced from June 24,1991 Aviation Week & Space Technology, p. 61: "Ada, the Defense Dept. mandatory computer language for all new electronic systems, has spawned a substantial industry to develop tools and software for computers and microprocessors using the new language. The Ada industry had a difficult year financially in 1990, but appears to be recovering in 1991, according to a report published by Focused Ada Research, in Falls Church, Va. The report forecasts 20% growth rate by 1992, spurred by Ada's use in commercial avionics and factory automation systems in addition to military systems. Work on the new Air Force F-22, the Army RAH-66 Comanche, and updates to older aircraft also will contribute to the growth in Ada business." Any typos are mine, the rest is Aviation Weeks :-)
