A computer program is described for obtaining the reliability of a system composed of a number of interconnected sub-systems. The interconnections are such that at least r successive interconnected subsystems must fail in order for the system to fail. The approach treats the system as a dynamic redundant system and is implemented in a digital computer program. The program listing and examples are given in a Supplement.
