A Grey Relational Method for Estimating Fighter’s Fly-Away Cost

Abstract:

To get around the problem of limited samples and the difficulty in data collection which is faced by fighter’s fly-away cost estimation, This paper utilizes the grey relational analysis method to calculate the relational coefficients between fighter’s parameters and fly-away cost, and presents a method to estimate the fly-away cost based on the relational coefficients. A few fighters’ raw data has been selected to be a case study at the end to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of this method.
