Keep in mind there is a third option: use RTSA for requirements and an
obejct-based approach for design. The Software Productivity Consortium's
ADARTS methodology (which has been used on multiple 1MSLOC+ real-time
projects) is one such example which is targeted to use with Ada 83. SPC
provides extensive training and support. (Some Lockheed Martin companies
are members of the SPC).
