Abstract
The reliability of the military equipment determines the possibility of the success of the mission. This paper focuses on identifying damage to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles during their operation. The research problem was expressed by the question: which UAV elements are most often damaged, and what causes it. The research is based on the analysis of technical documents, an electronic damage archiving system, and manufacturer documentation. These studies were complemented by empirical research conducted at the 12th Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Base in Mirosławiec, Poland. The initial phase involved identifying damages affecting the operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Subsequently, the reliability measure was determined for the repairable two-state object, excluding repair time.
