Ratio Based Weapon System of Systems Capability Gaps Assessment Method Research

Abstract:

Weapon system of systems gaps assessment (WSoSCGA) is a key problem in the field of weapon demonstration research. Traditional methods have a lot of work to do and lack science. This paper tries to solve this problem in a novel way based on capability ratio. All the criteria should be normalized differently according to their own attributes. By combining the subjective weighting method and objective weighting method, synthesized weights are formed and inputted into a framework to determine their relative capability values. Then we can evaluate weapon system of systems gaps by comparative analysis. In contrast with traditional methods, there is no need to calculate specific capability value of each SoS for gaps assessment. At last, a case is conducted to illustrate its utilization and demonstrate its effectiveness and feasibility for WSoSCGA.
