Abstract	Development of high-integrity software requires a programming language that promotes good engineering across domains in highly reliable real-time systems. The new Ada 2005 has introduced more robust capabilities based on user experience. The language offers particular innovations which helps make safety assurance less costly and further improves high integrity features in all major facets. The US Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) current operational core En Route air traffic control (ATC) systems Display System and User Requested Evaluation Tool use Ada as the primary language. The replacement of the huge En Route Host System, called En Route Automation Modernization (ERAM) is currently completing development and beginning deployment with a majority of critical real-time applications in Ada. These systems were completed ahead of schedule and under budget. The paper discusses the evolution of Ada 2005, its vendor support and several excellent academic initiatives. Discussions include the architecture and software of the ATC systems developed in Ada. Since the FAA has a long-term vested interest in the language for mission-critical systems with a very high availability requirement, it continuously monitors the long-term supportability of Ada and trends in its commercial product evolution.
