>>I worked on these systems on the B-52H for a few years. The systems even felt somewhat archaic back then, but there was a reason: they were probably the most reliable military avionics systems I've come across.
>I'd wager [..] that resilience in the face of EMP was probably a big factor too
The poster was talking about software reliability, which the next poster asked if software reliability was related to EMP hardening.
It was quite clear to me that he was talking about hardware reliability, what with the explicit mentions of CRTs, fragility, and resistance to vibration and shock.
The only mention of software in the whole comment is a brief comment about "upgrades to both the system and the software".
