A fairly large (100 man year est.) DoD development effort is 
considering use of OOA and OOD techniques.  They are planning to 
use Ada as a programming language.  The characteristics of the system
are:
	Unix workstation based 
	many communication interfaces, but not extreme volume
	emphasis on user interface, graphics, maps
	tracking and multi-sensor correlation (again, not extreme volume)
	DoD 2167A documentation 

The development cycle is relatively short (1993 operational system)
given the appropriate degree of testing, etc.

My personal opinion is that OOA methods may not be mature enough yet,
but that may be due to ignorance.

Could some of you who have successfully used OOA and OOD respond (by mail)
with experiences (good and bad), and suggestions for methods, tools, and 
training.
