He shared the 1904 Nobel Prize for literature. mis·tral n. Solutions to create new safety-critical flight control systems that will underpin advanced Indian defense programs. The partnership was chosen over the competition due to the combination of Mistral's development experience and strong customer support, the safety-critical aspects of the Ada language, and AdaCore's knowledge, superior development environment and close integration with Wind River's operating software. This is the first ADE project to use the Ada language. Mistral will use GNAT Pro High-Integrity Edition for DO-178B on the project, which aims to develop avionics flight control systems that will become the standard within multiple applications for the Indian Ministry of Defence. It began in April 2007 and is scheduled to last 14 months. The project will run on VME (Virtual Machine Environment) An operating system from Fujitsu Services (formerly ICL) that runs on its Series 39 mainframes. Introduced in 1975, VME is a comprehensive product that provides a variety of utilities for datacenter operations. PPC-based single board computers using Wind River Systems' VxWorks 6.x operating system operating system (OS) Software that controls the operation of a computer, directs the input and output of data, keeps track of files, and controls the processing of computer programs. . "This new project demonstrates that Ada is now the language of choice for developing safety-critical avionics systems across the globe," said Cyrille Comar, Managing Director, AdaCore Europe. "Working with our partner Mistral Solutions, AdaCore was able to deliver a superior development environment that is both easy to use and provides the high level of protection necessary for mission-critical applications such as flight control systems." "This is yet another great example of a new avionics project leveraging the industry-proven combination of Wind River's VxWorks RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system. See real time system, embedded system, process control and OS-9. and AdaCore's GNAT Pro development environment," said Rob Hoffman, General Manager of Aerospace and Defense, Wind River. "Combining Wind River's VxWorks product platform and our worldwide support organization with AdaCore's software, we are ensuring that organizations like the Indian ADE benefit from the industry's most robust development platforms for high-reliability systems." ADE is part of the Indian Defence
"This is the first major Ada project we have worked on, and when it came to developing such a safety-critical application, AdaCore was the natural choice to partner with," said Mujahid Alam, Vice President - Sales, Mistral Solutions.
