Abstract: The evolution of the weapon systems of NATO countries armies of the last quarter century and the changes of the types of threats to Alliance members has led to increased availability coefficient of the military equipment. Increasing the availability was achieved through the implementation of modern concepts of the maintenance activity. Also, the transformation of the management and execution of maintenance structures and the procedures used contributed to optimizing the use of the equipment. Although they were many weaknesses mainly due to underfunding the domain, the maintenance structures managed the implementation of modern concepts of monitoring the equipment: the use of specialized computer programs, the prosecution of the products lifecycle costs, the reliability centered maintenance, the system life cycle management. All these concepts contributed to the implementation of integrated logistics system (ILS) whose objective is part of NATO concept “Smart Support”.
