If anyone is interested, here is "an experience report" (slides) about the use of Ada in Eurocontrol' s CFMU : https://slideplayer.com/slide/11313411/

The concluding slide from this report:

> The Ada language is one of the factors which has helped to build, maintain and enhance the CFMU mission critical sophisticated applications.

glorious, thanks

And I'd say out of the US the majority of ATC radars after 95 are probably running some mix of Ada and C.

> Meanwhile in Europe, Eurocontrol' s CFMU (Central Flow Management Unit) is written in Ada and successfully routes thousands of flights a day.

Was this a new system, or a replacement of old code? If the latter, could that have been a complicating factor?
