"Specialized screening for automotive and military systems" means that they have done more extensive tests on otherwise identical chips.

As an example: for military chips they will certainly do every (non-destructive) test they know on every single device, say at elevated temperature with a little less than the minimum specified operating voltage... The test-devices themselves might cost $1M and be occuplied for oen hour per chip, hence they will charge you more for the final chip.
