Seeking information on the mandatory requirement for using Ada on DoD
projects. Realize that the last DoD budget bill contained a clause
about usage where cost effective. Have the Air Force policy statement.
As a practical matter, is Ada usage on DoD projects now mandatory? Did
the new law result in a cutback on the number of waivers and exemptions
granted? I do product planning in a commercial software company and am
trying to see if there is a growing need for Ada scietific software.
Sorry for posting here but could not get into clari.tw.defense. Would
appreciate any opinions.
Thanks,
Gary Lelvis

I took the Air Force Systems Command's Computer Resource Acquisition Course
last June and we discussed this (at least the Air Force's point of view).
I believe the official policy is: Ada or Naada (nothing). Now, this may
be outdated, but I don't think the policy is going to change much.
I'm working the software development portion of a new program now. The contractor
for the Air Force is using Ada. If you're developing stuff for DoD usage
under a DoD contract, expect to use Ada. If you're developing something
like Unix, X-windows, or other Commercial Off-the-Shelf stuff, I'm sure you
can use whatever you want. My impression is that there is a shortage of
useful Ada implemented tools out there. Now, this is a possible growth area....
