Less than 1/2 of the Engineering work went to Tucson.  The RADAR and
FLIR group remain here, and as far as
I know they are not using Ada for NEW projects, I could  Of course
be wrong.  As Far as I know Raytheon has never refused to use Ada or any
other language, its their money after all. There are
plenty of on going projects that use Ada.  My project uses Ada to
support existing code, and
I sure that if the new tools are as good as you say, we may buy new
tools for supporting old code.  However the Government itself is
funding a move to C on one project, I understood they ask for a bid to
convert a Working system written in Ada to C.  Part of this was due to
a dated, and overly expensive processing board in a system with a lot
of up coming spin-offs, and part was fear of lack of Ada support for
future processors.  It has always depended on which branch of the
military you work for.

That is proably a good place for it, but did NASA use Ada for
Pathfinder?

Raytheon, ATT or Any other company may or may
not agree with any thing I say, write or think.
