There is fairly significant use of Ada on projects using MIL-STD-1750A  
16-bit processors such as the GPS MA31750, PACE1750A etc. The European 
Space Agency's Envisat program has the MA31750 listed as the recommended 
microprocessor, and Ada (from TLD :-( has been mandated for it. Also I 
believe Lockheed are using Tartan (TI) Ada for the MIL-STD-1750A on the 
F22 program (or something like that).
