This project started in the early 80's before the standard
was released (I am a bit suprised that anyone aspiring to be
knowledgable about Ada during this period -- as you should be
to make pronouncements -- would not know about this!)

Which would be???
Borland? Microsoft? hardly, not for an Ada compiler at
that time ... Lumping complex compilers together with tools
in general shows a lack of knowledge of the compiler field
(but then I don't think you claimed expertise in this area!)
In fact it was not clear that the company chosen (Softech)
was not in fact an excellent choice, but for various reasons
this project was not very successful.
The DoD also funded the Ada/Ed effort, a very inexpensive
teaching compiler used extensively, and it is this project
that eventually gave rise to the GNAT project.
