Abstract
The article presents a proposal for a method to determine a total and partial operational readiness for a mobile medical module as a complex technical system. A new approach to determine the readiness factor characterizing the functional readiness of a complex technical system is proposed as parameter not only for the system in a state of full usability, but also in states of partial usability enabling the performance of selected functions required by the user. The communication system is discussed as the main system determining the operation of the mobile medical module. Markov chain modeling (expanded into semi-Markov chains) was used to determine the value of the readiness factor of this system. Due to the structural complexity of the mobile medical module (carrier platform, drive, basic and additional avionics equipment and basic and extended medical equipment), a total and partial operational readiness can be determined for a simple object (in a simplified version as full) or a complex system (as a total and partial).
