Obsolescence is indeed a problem for all high tech military equipment, but let's indeed be honest here, usually it becomes an issue a fair amount of time after it becomes operational, not before.
Sorry, thats simply not true. Military electronics is always old technology compared to commercial electronics. High tech to the military is 5 year old tech.

Conservative, tested, stable, reliable, safe, approved and hardened is more important than 'new'.
