I work in defense and the approach to software development is hell. Imagine package managers and Git being newfangled scary technologies and not unit testing anything. Now slap tens or hundreds of millions of dollars on there and you've got a defense program.

I'm actually quite tired of it and I'm looking elsewhere.

Yes, and the user community and PMs on the gov't side are terrible at defining requirements. Even moreso as the number of stakeholders increases.

Exactly. How can I build and test a system when you change the system requirements and scope every 6 months?
