I've designed avionics equipment for every Navy fighter used in the last 25 years (not to mention AF). The differences between Mil aviation and commercial are striking. If it's not designed for the mil environment, it fails prematurely. Period. And Murphy guarantees it will be at the worst possible time for you, the pilot. The commercially based MFD's in the Prowler were put in as a "rapid" change to fix the ADI failing with no off flag problem and they are pretty unsat. Lots of display overheat lights and pretty impossible to see from the right seat with the sun overhead or behind. They really don't get dim enough for my taste at night either. Don't know what the survivability at the boats been. Allen
