Seeking information on the mandatory requirement for using Ada on DoD
projects. Realize that the last DoD budget bill contained a clause
about usage where cost effective. Have the Air Force policy statement.

As a practical matter, is Ada usage on DoD projects now mandatory? Did
the new law result in a cutback on the number of waivers and exemptions
granted? I do product planning in a commercial software company and am
trying to see if there is a growing need for Ada scietific software.

Sorry for posting here but could not get into clari.tw.defense. Would
appreciate any opinions.

Thanks,
