I believe he meant the part of the thread that was going off-topic. This is a linux list, remember ? > Q: "Do we have any standards in softwares which makes > it military grade. For eaxample the military grade > IC(integrated circuits) have to confine to certain > temperature range, MTBF, fault tolerance limit etc. > Do we have such specifications/tests for softwares" Yes and no. To the best of my knowledge, any such specifications have been made on ad-hoc basis so far.(At least till 2 years back. Yeah I have worked with the army). There is nothing like COE in place yet. > Now my second question arises from the first on. If > we have specs for military grade softwares, is Linux > meeting those standards??????/ It wasn't posix compliant officially(as in certified). > As for the DRDO using Linux, its still not used > extensible and linux is certainly not used in Indian > Army (contact Ashlin to get a proof for my fact). Its > one thing to have linux being used in DRDO but that > usage is different from its usage in army. How is it different ? I personally setup a linux mail server at DRDO few years back. Sounds to me, like it is being adapted by the army gradually.
