The idea of using operational code for simulation/training purposes (or vice versa)
is definitely a "hot button" in the DoD right now. It should also be pointed out
that a lot of simulation/training code developed for military purposes can be
used for commercial purposes as well (and vice versa). Which means we start talking
about COTS, which means (I think) that we are well on our way to a major collision
between this "Ada for warfighting only" concept and "More reuse between
commercial/COTS and warfighting software." Not that I have a solution, but I see the
train wreck coming...
