Abstract

Abstract Selection of the best weapon locating and fire correction radar is a key success factor for artillery in performing the tasks entrusted to it as an essential part of the army.The importance and complexity of the problem due to involving conflicting criteria call for analytical methods rather than intuitive decisions. This paper illustrates the application of sixdifferent outrankingmethods to the problem of selecting such radar among a finite set of candidate alternatives. The attributes (criteria) aredefined to express the performance of particular alternatives (radars) relevant for thedecision maker.The agreement between the obtained ranks are measured using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient.
