Rockwell Collins has successfully used AdaCore’s Code Traceability Analysis for DO-178B in the certification of the Integrated Display System (IDS) for a large, next-generation, commercial aircraft. The Traceability Analysis package is part of the evidence needed to satisfy the DO-178B objectives for structural code coverage at Level A, the highest (most stringent) level for avionics software safety.

GNATProve is used for formal verification of Ada programs and is being developed as part of the Hi-Lite project. It can prove that subprograms respect their contracts, expressed as preconditions and postconditions in the syntax of Ada 2012. The tool automatically discovers the subset of subprograms which can be formally analyzed. We provide binary distributions for x86 linux, x86 windows and x86-64 bit linux. More details can be found at http://www.open-do.org/projects/hi-lite/gnatprove/

AdaCore today announced the successful usage of its SPARK Pro and GNAT Pro High-Security products by Rockwell Collins in the development of the SecureOne™ Guard, a high assurance cross domain guard for military tactical systems. The SecureOne Guard has strict requirements for reliability and security. In order to meet these needs, Rockwell Collins selected SPARK Pro and GNAT Pro High-Security as key development tools for the project.

SmartSide has adopted the Ada programming language and GNAT Pro for the implementation of their Smart Devices platform. SmartSide provides Smart Metering and Smart Grid management solutions which are used to optimize Smart Grid networks.

Saab Electronic Defence Systems (Sweden) has adopted the CodePeer static analyzer tool for use on the GIRAFFE project.
