NEW YORK CITY, 27 July 2006. AdaCore has been awarded a contract to provide its GNAT Pro Ada toolset and development environment to The Boeing Company's Training Systems & Services (TSS) division in St. Louis, Mo., where it will be used for the development of Ada flight simulation code.
AdaCore has been supplying Boeing with Ada development tools for real-time aircrew training simulation systems since 2003 for such aircraft as the C-17, the U.S. Army AH-64D Apache Longbow (an all-Ada aircraft), and the F-15E Rapid Prototyping System (RPS).
As part of the contract, AdaCore will supply GNAT Pro for the development of training systems for custom Apache aircraft that will be delivered to Japan and Kuwait. TSS specifically utilizes AdaCore's GNAT Pro, including the GNAT Programming Studio (GPS) Integrated Development Environment, for software development, testing, and debugging on x86 Linux and x86 Windows platforms.
