systemic unsoundedness
дефектность обычно означает нечто привенеснное, например, в процессе производства (в отличие от дефективности, например, у детей). В данном случае, русский термин выбран неудачно. В геологии уплотребляют sound - unsound, что характеризует недостатки в целом.

Comment: "According to Leonid's reference, "unsoundedness" seems perfectly fit the bill, so I'll stick with it.
Thank you all, guys!"

systematic defects
Possibly "faults" or "flaws", but I think "defects" is a good geological word!

: I don't think "unsoundness" is possible here. Defects is best.

Kevin Kelly
: Systematic is the correct term here. "systemic" means that which is inherent to a system; "systematic" means having a pattern, which is the case here. This is context driven.

systematic defect rate
I think what is needed here is some kind of rate or number. Maybe in a big I can go find some citations....
Something like:
systematic defect rate
or:
level of systematic defects
Something like:
systematic defect rate
or:
level of systematic defects

Just a suggestion
Unless системная refers to something (system)in particular, I would just say "defects of the system," a system in geology (geomorphology) being a group of related natural features, e.g., mountain system, drainage system, etc., etc.
