You have a point, I suspect that they use it because it isn't any of those
things.
It does, probably the reason they don't like big monolithic kernels much.
True, but if you are doing a tactical display you would have to add so much
code to pSOS/vxWorks that you would introduce more bugs than there are in an
OS that has been in use (and tested) by millions for several years.
Shock protection, they are used in far worse places than a war ship.
They used to have HD in cruise missiles incase you didn't know (probably
still do in some).
It has, but that would be classified.

You really are an idiot. You have no business discussing anything technical.
You'll be wise to limit your technical expertise to how to turn on the
fryer to fry tacos at Taco Bell.

French invented the metric system AFAICR.
Imperial was developed in Europe..hard to say that England was where it
really started.
The 'Mile' is a thousand paces..standardised Roman paces..
The 'yard' is how for you can pull a bowstring, or a bolt of cloth with
one hand to the body and the other extended..
etc..

The fact that they use a particular product might be a secret. But that
product might be something available to the public, possible only
slightly modified.
Many UIs for command and control use commercial desktops.
The embedded s/w may indeed be special purpose. But the consoles that
the operators use are standard, commercially available packages in many
cases.

The U.S. military used to use SCO System V quite a lot. Probably still
does.
