In the study, the authors focused on determination of reliability indicators of the transport systems, which currently constitute the Polish Armed Forces’ equipment. The methods of research of car fleets composed of distinct types of vehicles are presented. The algorithms of reliability indicators’ determination addressed in the study can serve to analyze other set of transportation means used in rescue, seasonal transport and specialized transportation assignments, as well as to determine the security level of any mission conducted. The appearance of information technology allowed transferring the paper-based registration system of operational occurrences into an integrated information system. It enables to follow the history of transportation fleets including single pieces of the equipment. The knowledge of reliability of particular types of the vehicles allows for proper planning of missions within the framework of possessed transport assets capacity. The study presents the method of achieving the intended objective to increase the effectiveness of management of motor vehicles fleet used intermittently. The algorithm for the selection of a vehicle or a group of vehicles for execution of tasks, developed on the basis of analytical procedures, envisages the assignment of mobile assets, complication and complexity of their structures, the level of modernity, operational history and branch regulations. Determined reliability indicators for particular groups of vehicles can be implemented into the Multilevel Information System

The subjects of this publication are the issue of reliability studies of military vehicles, the determination of reliability indicators of selected groups of vehicles, and the adoption of complex models of operation for analysis based on recorded operational events. Numerical simulations of operating states were performed to verify the models and the adopted reliability indicators. It has been shown that it is possible to use the obtained results of research in the economic efficiency-oriented military vehicle management system in order to minimize structural surpluses and increase the efficiency of the land technology equipment park.

This paper focuses on the determination of effectiveness of the implemented system ZWSI RON in an analysis of the vehicles operation process in the army. With this end in view, a questionnaire-based diagnostic survey was conducted on staff members of the technical services of the Polish Army logistics units. The survey research results analysis shows that 90% of the respondents do not use the basic PM (Plant Maintenance) module of the ZWSI RON system to manage the operation of military vehicles. One should consider a modification of the mentioned system, i.e. creating new modules and new relations between individual modules of the system, using SAP system structure solutions.

In the article the authors have attempted to analyze the specifications and criteria imposed on military vehicles acquired by the Polish Armed Forces. The issues of selection of the target operation standard, interval between periodic maintenance inspections, fault tolerance and reliability, which are defined in tactical-technical criteria by administrators, were addressed. The technical specifications are the essential component of qualification studies. The data obtained from research of prototypes and the initial years of exploitation of the new military equipment (SpW) constitute the source of verification for technical-tactical criteria (ZTT) or initial technical-tactical criteria (WZTT) adopted for implementation. The article also discusses the issues related to estimation of probability of the tasks to be executed by military vehicles in typical operating conditions depending on the lifetime, mileage or method of storage. Presumable combat losses, which are independent from the adopted operation system of the military equipment, have been omitted. The research works in the field of reliability are conducted in the Armored Fighting Vehicles Laboratory of the Military Institute of Armored and Automotive Technology in Sulejówek. Additionally, the authors have addressed the possibility of the application of computer simulation for the purpose of military vehicles reliability.

Exploitation of vehicles on the civil market requires the deprivation of utility features of vehicles intended for military or police purposes. The work presents an algorithm of operation to deprive combat vehicles of the utility features. As part of the work, an example of the analysis of the elements of vehicle construction and equipment which should be deprived of functional features is shown, in accordance with the list contained in the above regulations. The authors also provided a description of how to proceed in order to deprive the utility features of the designated construction elements or equipment of the selected combat vehicle.
