Theoretical Approaches on the Modernization of Military Equipment Maintenance

The article proposes an analysis of the transformation and modernization of the maintenance system of the military equipment together with the adaptation to military technical systems typology existing in equipping Romanian Army. Technological development of weapon systems in recent decades has imposed adjustment of methodologies for repairs and maintenance to obtain some availability coefficients, assumed for technical systems placed in endowment. Although political and economic conditions were hostile at times, the need to align to the geo-strategic reality has led to the remarkable development of military equipment and to improvement of their maintenance. Endowment with complex military equipment including subsystems in various domains (mechatronic, ballistics, information technology, optical, thermal, chemical, hydro-pneumatic and so on) has created prerequisites for the transformation and modernization of operating systems, logistics, maintenance, whose procedures involve optimization methods to meet the requirements of the modern battlefield.
