An uncertain non-repairable system consisting of a finite number of components is considered. The reliability characteristics of the components are represented as a set of lower and upper previsions. To compute the lower and upper previsions, characterizing the system reliability, a suitable optimization problem is posed. A numerical iterative algorithm is proposed for solving of this problem. This algorithm is easy to realize by the use of the dual representation of the considered optimization problem. It is shown that for some particular cases the corresponding exact solutions can be found. An overview of some formulas for interval-valued reliability calculations is also given. Some illustrative examples are presented too.
