So is there a list or statistic of how many DOD projects actually use Ada?

Worked in the defence industry for a few years in the 2000s. I worked on exactly one Ada project. The rest were C/C++. I presume the shift away from Ada has accelerated if anythinng.

The Ada mandate for mission-critical software was only in place from 1991-1997.
