It goes on to say that a software program called Lead Systems Integrator Distributed Systems (LIDS) is very late and it is to perform the simulations that would be the basis for some deployment decisions. I'm curious about the LIDS software. Written in Ada? Other language? Size estimates? Real time i/f with hardware? Is the software itself distributed? Is this using HLA? Number of engineers and which Boeing center is working it? PS-I'm not looking for a debate on missile defense. There are plenty of groups for that. I'm just wondering about the size of this software project and has software ever effected _national_ policy before? -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Love rlove@neosoft.com ----------------------------------------------------------------
