One problem with COTS for military and similar problem domains is
that you need a system where reliability requirements are high on
the priority list and you are trying to implement it with components
designed with other priorities.
Another is that (in some cases) instead of specifying the requirements
that the problem domain needs, you try to reverse-engineer the
requirements of the components you have decided to use.
