    AdaCore Launches New GNAT Pro Product Lines

    Posted by AdaCore
    In response to evolving requirements from existing customers and increasing interest in Ada from traditionally C-based application domains, AdaCore has launched three product lines for its GNAT Pro technology:
    • GNAT Pro Enterprise, a full-featured environment supporting industrial-grade development of mission-critical software;
    • GNAT Pro Assurance, an extension of GNAT Pro Enterprise oriented towards users with software certification requirements or the need for a stable development platform that is maintained (with repairs to critical issues) over the entire duration of a long-lived project; and
    • GNAT Pro Developer, geared towards new users of Ada who want to take advantage of the language’s software engineering support and early error detection.

    “Make it with Ada” competition winners announced

    Posted by AdaCore

    AdaCore today announced the winners of its second annual Make with Ada programming competition for embedded projects. Make with Ada aims to show how the Ada and SPARK language technologies can significantly improve code quality for modern embedded systems without requiring a steep learning curve for developers unfamiliar with these languages. Prizes are awarded to the projects that best meet the overall criteria of software dependability, openness, collaborativeness and inventiveness.

    MHI Aerospace Systems Corp. Selects AdaCore’s QGen for Model-Based Development

    Posted by AdaCore
    MHI Aerospace Systems Corporation (MASC) has selected the QGen toolset to develop the software for the Throttle Quadrant Assembly (TQA) system. This avionics research project is being conducted to meet the Level C objectives in the DO-178C safety standard for airborne software and its DO-331 supplement on Model-Based Development and Verification. The use of a qualified code generator can help save significant effort in developing and verifying the software, and the future availability of qualification material from AdaCore factored strongly in MASC’s decision to choose QGen. The QGen code generator can be qualified at the highest Tool Qualification Level, TQL-1 (equivalent to a development tool in DO-178B).
