Method to Establish the Overall Reliability of the Military Human-Machine Systems

The man-machine system consists of two subsystems fundamentally different, one representing the human factor and the other the technical equipment. The reliabilities of the two subsystems are treated with different methods, given their different nature. Consequently, linking them to use a single indicator of reliability is achieved with difficulty. This article introduces a new indicator of the system reliability indicating the overall reliability of the man-machine system and proposes a method for calculating this indicator.
