Application of FAHP to Torpedo Operational Effectiveness Evaluation

Torpedo system is a complex system with many fuzzy or uncertain factors, which to a certain extent lead to fuzzy operational effectiveness of torpedo. Traditional evaluation methods ignore this problem, inevitably resulting in a certain risk in the evaluation results. We introduce fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) into the operational effectiveness evaluations of several types of torpedoes to reduce the risk of evaluation results, decompose a complex problem in to a series of fuzzy factors, then determine the relative importance of each factor in every level by pair-wise comparison, and finally determine the sequence of the factors according to the irrelative importance, conclusions show that the evaluation results obtained by the proposed methods is more safety and reliable.
