Abstract: Highlights•Generalized k-out-of-n phased-mission systems are modeled.•A novel and fast analytical modeling method is proposed.•The method is applicable to systems with any arbitrary time-to-failure distribution.•Correctness and efficiency of the proposed method are proved.•Reliability of an unmanned aerial vehicles system is analyzed.
