An evaluation of new-type ammunition support capability based on the gray-extension goodness
Abstract
New-type ammunition, as an important part of weapon system, is one of the most important composition factors of
army battle effectiveness. How to confirm the question whether the new-type ammunition supports capability can
meet the requirements of the rules is a complicated problem. On the basis of analyzing the factors affecting the
new-type ammunition support capability, the article constructs an evaluation index system, containing 6 secondary
indicators, totally 20 underlying index, such as staff efficiency, storage, transportation, loading and unloading
capacity, management efficiency and self-supply ability. The comprehensive index weight is determined based on the
gray-fuzzy thought and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), on basis of which the extension evaluation model of the
new-type ammunition support capability is further constructed. This model is used to carry out an overall evaluation
of the new-type ammunition support capability. The evaluation results show that the model is an effective method of
evaluating new-type ammunition support capability, which can be used to guide the support capability construction
of the new-type ammunition support unit.
