Analysis for mission reliability of a combat tank

Mission reliability is the probability that a system will perform its specified mission. In a reliability sense, some subsystems or components are not required to operate perfectly for a certain mission, and sometimes it is not reasonable to assume that the states of all components are statistically independent. The purpose of this study is to set up mathematical models for the moving and firing mission reliabilities of a combat tank, taking into account these two problems. A discussion is presented of how the models can be used by the combat tank planner or the tank designer
