There is Ada code associated with the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM).
One of the systems (Mission Data Distribution System) in the Theater Mission
Planning Centers that preplan the TLAM routes is partially written in Ada.  A 
command and control system partially derived from this and used for TLAM C2 
issues (the Mission Display System) is also written in Ada.
