A real-time multiserver system with homogeneous servers (such as unmanned air vehicles or machine controllers) and several nonidentical channels (such as surveillance regions or assembly lines) working under maximum load regime is studied. We show how to compute steady-state probabilities of such a system, when both maintenance and service times are exponentially distributed. We also compute various important performance parameters, including system availability and loss penalty function.
