| Summary: | This paper presents a selection of issues related to the methods of evaluation and selection
of advanced weapon systems for armed forces. The paper’s focus is ranking in the form of typical
Multidimensional Comparative Analysis Methods, and the AHP method which represents a large
group of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis methods. Both methods were illustrated with a practical
computational example related to combat aircraft. The example can help determine the defensive capabilities
of friendly forces; it can also support the decision-making process in the acquisition of novel
armament, including aircraft, ships, surface-to-air missile defense systems, etc.
Keywords: armament, military aviation, decision making support, multi-criteria analysis, AHP
method, ranking.
