Summary/Abstract: The organisation and assurance of the Communications and Information Systems (CIS) stability is an extremely complex activity that presents many particularities according to the location and the specifics of the battle actions due to a large quantity and diversity of radio-electronic equipment, its varying disposition, the greater and greater possibilities of destabilisation and influence of the CIS functioning by the enemy, the diversity of the operational scenarios and the concrete conditions of the military operations development. The main components of the CIS stability could be availability, reliability, viability and stability. Reliability has increased in importance over the past 30 years as systems have become more complex, support costs have increased, and defence budgets have decreased. Reliability is a basic factor affecting availability, readiness, support costs, and mission success.
