The new computers employ Green Hills Software's Integrity real-time operating system to take advantage of multiple-target capabilities and other new features, and programming will be done in Ada with the company's AdaMulti development environment." Also, the article immediately preceding this one, about BAE Systems Controls teaming up with DDC-I to develop Score-653 for safety critical embedded systems, mentions that "Ada is considered a reliable language".
