Reliability Assessment of Tethered High-altitude Unmanned Telecommunication Platforms

This book provides a systematic presentation of the major results in the field of the theory of k -out-of- n systems obtained in recent years and their applications for the reliability assessment of high-altitude unmanned platforms. Mathematical models, methods, and algorithms, presented in the book, will make a significant contribution to the development of reliability theory and the theoretical foundations of unmanned UAV-based aerial communications networks in the framework of the concept of
