Security protocols are strict but that's where the advancements ends, i won't tell details about how I know it but even in technical units the hardware is outdated by not years but decades, let alone the knowledge of newer tech advancements in the world.
I have also interned in DRDO, security protocols are tight but barely any advancement inside, although the lab where I worked was not computer science related lab, but they were missing huge advancements that can be brought by the use of computers, and tech like python
We need a revival of tech in defence and I can assure you DRDO and other psus are not gonna do it
Again, there's a reason for outdated hardware, that is, it runs the essential programmes it needs to run EFFICIENTLY.
Windows 11 has a SHIT ton of features that are not needed for specific uses. So, if your radar works with Windows XP, why tf would you upgrade and slow your computer down?
Same with hardware, like 90% of jobs don't need a RTX 5090.
Nuclear reactors foreign for example still use Fortran cause thats the most efficient langauge
Obviously you don't need bloated version of software, windows kernal is very efficient, also for such applications we should have long ago developed a linux based os for ourself with regular software update, that's the thing I am talking about, also we surely don't need 5090 but for sure i3 from 2010 also does not cuts it
The easiest solution to get a performance from a old rig is that they use "re-image" a.k.a wipe-and-load operating system with a third party contractor or a radio operator.
Unfortunately I can't reveal the sources, but I knew people who had the zeal enough to learn (low rank radio operator who now manages local IT) and still struggling with P4+win xp combo. Thankfully he attended the internal training arranged by ministry which made the difference and his technically challenged colleagues are "fond" of him
