Reliability tests in the operation of military vehicles

Reliability studies in the operation of military vehicles are not carried out extensively. This is due to the guidelines of superiors regarding the keeping of operational records in military units. As a result, this work attempts to determine the reliability of military vehicles. This work includes reliability tests of military vehicles operated in military units in the second phase of operation, i.e. in the operation interval, where the extent of change in the intensity of damage is the least in the function of mileage. The study used a sample of 37 vehicles for which all operational events relevant to reliability determination were recorded during a two-year observation period. Using recorded operational data, an empirical reliability function of the vehicles included in the test sample was determined. Based on reliability tests of the reliability function as a function of mileage to damage, they show that second-phase vehicles used in military units have a logarithmic distribution of reliability as a function of mileage.
