  1. Reparable systems are systems that are characterized by their ability to undergo maintenance actions when failures occur. These systems are often described by transport equations, all coupled through an integro-differential equation. In this paper, we address the understudied aspect of the controllability of reparable systems. In particular, we focus on a two-state reparable system and our goal is to design a control strategy that enhances the system availability- the probability of being operational when needed. We establish bilinear controllability, demonstrating that appropriate control actions can manipulate system dynamics to achieve desired availability levels. We provide theoretical foundations and develop control strategies that leverage the bilinear structure of the equations.
