Abstract
SIMBOX2 is an air defence simulation system designed using object-oriented principles and implemented in Ada on Unix platforms. The paper discusses the requirements for the system, the design approach adopted, and the design eventually arrived at. Some information on the detailed use of Ada and the project outcome is given. The paper shows how the design was made to overcome the lack of object-oriented features in Ada 83, and shows how the new features of the proposed Ada 9X would allow an improved design.
