This sounds fascinating, could you elaborate any on why a single failure of this application would be so catastrophic?

I can't discuss this particular application.

But there are whole classes of applications that are also mission critical -- an example might be software driving your car or operating dangerous chemical processes.

For automotive industry there are MISRA standards which we used to guide our development process amongst other ideas from NASA and Boeing (yeah, I know... it was some time ago)
