A Novel Weapon System Effectiveness Assessment Method Based on the Interval-Valued Evidential Reasoning Algorithm and the Analytical Hierarchy Process

As one of the most essential parts military operation, ability weapon systems to achieve operation mission is vital success a operation. Focusing on problem system effectiveness assessment (WSEA) under interval uncertainty, this paper proposed WSEA method that utilized interval-valued evidential reasoning (ER) algorithm, analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and two-grade ranking properly deal with uncertainty in as well provide reliable results. Firstly, AHP used determine weight different attributes based experts' knowledge, which could enhance subjectiveness result. Then, ER algorithm applied combine overall Finally, compare rank results weapons. Case study shows accurate for assessment. Comparison sensitivity analysis further confirm not only effective existing methods precise data, but also has uncertainty. In conclusion, by utilizing method, provides novel way especially
