The work is aimed to present an approach for estimation of recommended maintenance intervals of radiocommunication devices which is based on the developed Monte Carlo simulation model and the suggested optimality criterion for calculation of the rational periodicity on the basis of obtained values of reliability indexes. The model takes into account the following exploitation factors: sudden, gradual, latent and fictitious failures, human factor of service staff and time parameters of preventive maintenance. The suggested mathematical support allows providing of the high reliability of the exploited equipment.

Research objective and tasks
Tasks:
1) Select and justify the optimality criterion of the operational process of the
radio communication devices;
2) Develop a conceptual and simulation model of the process taking into
account the impact of the following factors: appearance of sudden, gradual,
latent and fictitious failures, human factor of service staff and time
parameters;
3) Implement the experiments to verify the conceptual model, confirm the
adequacy of the simulation and test its stationary properties;
4) Develop algorithms for computer-aided design system allowing
optimization of the preventive maintenance periodicity.
