QNX is 2nd tier RTOS that has all been displaced by Linux
Will nuclear reactors use Linux ? Will the ISS' Canadarm use Linux ? Will Mercedes cars use Linux ?
I am not quite a military enthusiast but below are the military applications and customers of QNX :

Defense and security applications and platforms face challenges unlike any other. In an environment where lives are often at stake, it is not only imperative that the system perform reliably but also that it be resilient to extreme conditions and persistent, malicious attacks by foreign entities. The applications and systems must be able to detect, contain, and repair themselves in the event of such attacks.

ARM is a British company. It does not mean all the work is done in Britain. A lot of ARM's work is done in USA and India
What is this "a lot of work" ?
Just because Linus Torvald is born in Finland it does not make Linux "Finnish"
That is why I said "initially".
