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). -- Best Regards John McCabe --------------------------------------------------------------------- Marconi Electronic Systems Simulation & Training Division ===================================================================== Not necessarily my company or service providers opinions. =====================================================================
