JSF Avionics Software will be C++

JSF Avionics Software will be C++

[Michael Card]

Hey CLA-

I spoke to someone at Green Hills about JSF. If I understood correctly,
the JSF will indeed use the Integrity RTOS, but almost all of the
avionics software will be C++. I believe the only Ada in the system
will be from either legacy components or non-LMC components from
subcontractors, like the engine control software for the Pratt &
Whitney engines.

Again, this is my take. Could be wrong, but this is what I thought I
heard...

In my most recent conversations with colleagues still at Pratt, the word has
been that Pratt is still using Ada for the engine control software and has
no intention of changing that any time soon.

Of course, plans can change and this doesn't mean that supporting software
won't be changed to something other than Ada. But at least the engine
control software is likely to remain in Ada.

Do you happen to know which part of Lockheed-Martin is doing the JSF
avionics software? Or are they subbing it out to someone else?

Thank God!
