resurrecting the Intel iAPX-432 32-bit microprocessor

I know a friend who worked on a contract for a project related to aircraft info. They had all the code done in Ada for their project. The intent was to allow access to the Norad tracking data at a time when such as Flightaware and the like were just coming into being as well. The product was to be able to track various assets on a commercial basis. After they completed the work the project was taken out of the hands of the group who did the Ada code and was sent overseas to be recoded in C++ and everyone was reassigned / let go. No further info on what became of that, but now days all that data is routinely available, and I suspect that the military side is still all running on Ada systems.
