Since this is in Huntsville, AL, it may be NMD related. At least one
existing major Ada software system for NMD, developed by one of the
subcontractors, is being rewritten in "C++" by the prime
contractor/integrator, Boeing. All the evidence I saw indicates that
this is solely to give Boeing more control and more of the profits for
this project. The last I heard, there was no C++ on the project, just C
with "//" comments.
