Pretty sure I read something long ago (20 years back?) about the 9900 and some strange problems in a missile controller application.
Turns out there was a variant called SBP9900 which was hardened for military use.
I think that was the Recursiv, that was built by some TI escapees in Britain. But this is based on very old neurons, so I could DEFINITELY be wrong on this one. Just offering what I think I remember.
TI definitely had a defense oriented business up until the late 90s when they sold their Defense Semiconductor Engineering Group (DESG) to (I think) Raytheon.
