Air Force Programming Languages: Standards, Use, and Selection.

Abstract

The Air Force systems Command(AFSC) High Order Language (HOL) Standardization Program is intended to develop recommendations in HOL standardization and to provide a standardization policy implementation plan. In support of this program a summary of information gathered on Air Force programming language is presented in this report. The programming languages are those used in weapon and defense system applications, which are grouped into six application areas. Each functional area, its subareas, and its requirements are described: programming languages used within each functional area are identified and their characteristics and associated standards and environments are described. This report, which is a follow-on to MITRE WP-20334, includes refinements of the information contained in that working paper; these refinements are the result of review of WP-20334 by many interested people within the Air FOrce. A preliminary standardization position for AFSC is given in the conclusions section of this report. (Author)
