Abstract: There is investigated a model of a system with the highly reliable elements, in which the periods of functioning are changed by the periods of maintenance. The system must be operational only in the periods of functioning although the restoration in these periods is not produced. The system is completely restored in the nearest period of maintenance. Since the elements of system are highly reliable, the reserve of system is rarely exhausted during each period of functioning. Therefore it is possible to use the results, obtained for the systems with fast restoration, for the reliability assessment of system, which is not restorable in the periods of the functioning. The estimations of indices of failure-free performance and maintainability of such systems are obtained.
