The missions of weapon systems are becoming increasingly complex. Thus, more mechanism motions than one are required to complete one mission. Under such conditions, a sort of mission has emerged, that needs a few mechanism motions to be executed in sequence. This means that the mission is not completed until all the motions have been executed successfully in strict sequence. This sequence motion system can be considered as a traditional series system with the motions treated as subsystems. Then, the system reliability can be analyzed with the traditional series system reliability method. However, this method cannot fully reflect the characteristics of a sequence. In this work, a reliability model of sequence motions and its solving idea are proposed. In this reliability model, the influence factors of each motion are included. Particularly, the performance function of the former motion is regarded as just one of the influence factors of the next motion, which is the most significant feature for the sequence motion system. Afterward, a solving idea with characteristics of a gradually shrinking sample space is proposed based on Monte-Carlo simulation. Finally, the reliability model of sequence motions and its solving idea are illustrated with a case study on the automatic chain shell magazine sequence motions of a self-propelled artillery.
