Due to the necessity of mirroring the existing development environment, pursuing alternative brands would be inefficient and cost-prohibitive. It would require extensive research, script development, testing, and could potentially result in the loss of critical program history. Additionally, the program does not have funding allocated for these efforts and there is no assurance that alternative solutions would be compatible or effective.

The cost to the Government would be at minimum to switch to another program:

The Government is currently working to stand up the environment. Analysis began in 2011 and will continue through 2029. The Government software environment was just recently proven to successfully replicate the Boeing software environment.

The time frame to start over would cost the Government 20 years of manpower, research, and intellectual knowledge. In addition, and of high importance, the Government would be required to restart the process of having the aircraft certified as per the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines and regulations.

The Government is unable to pursue any alternatives brands due to the contractual agreement with Boeing.

Without this specific brand, Boeing will be unable to provide support for software development. Ada is produced by AdaCore only and does not allow for its product to be sold by third parties.
