Subject: How Strict is DOD Ada Requirement?
Date: 1996/03/22

Message-ID: <4iuhsf$hg8@siberia.gtri.gatech.edu> (raw)

The Department of Defense is strongly promoting COTS-based streamlined
acquisition to reduce the cost of weapon system development and
procurement (COTS => commercial off the shelf).  A central facet of
these cost reduction efforts is the deletion of MIL-SPECS and other
burdensome Government requirements from some procurement packages.
Does anyone have any insights or experience as to how this affects the
mandate to use Ada in DOD systems?
