Definitly motivates > me to learn more Ada! Bill, to add to your list, here are a few more Ada based projects that I have worked on: Some launch control systems at the Kennedy Space Center. Flight simulator for the Swedish fighter JAS-39. Simulator for the P-3 aircraft surveillance system used by the U.S. Customs Service. Flight software for the Lockheed C-130J transport aircraft (a �glass cockpit� version of the original C-130) and its smaller version, the C-27J. Navigation and landing system control used on a number of major airlines. Jet engine controller for use on Navy ships. Flight software for the Raytheon JSOW missile. And my current assignment: Flight software for the Raytheon SM-3 exo-atmospheric anti-ballistic missile. (for more info, see: http://www.raytheon.com/products/standard_missile/ref_docs/standard_missile-3.pdf ) Additionally, Ada was used in the F-22 flight software at Lockheed.
