Porziob...You need to bring your understanding of MIL SPEC up to date! Even quite unique military equipment, like the latest model of Fire Control System for testing, preparation and launch of submarine launched ballistic missiles (Trident 2) is assembled largely using commercial off the shelf (COTS) hardware. Not only does this reduce cost (which, contrary to what you suggest, has always been an objective) but also assures the latest-greatest performance, and the ability to do a plug-and-play upgrade when better hardware comes along. The ability to use available software development tools is also a BIG cost reducer.
