Combat aircraft effectiveness assessment using hybrid multi-criteria decision making methodology

Selection of military defense equipment, especially combat aircraft appropriately, effectively and efficiently affects to the readiness of the Indonesian Air Force in upholding the country's sovereignty in the air. Based on the problems, the military requires an application that can support decision-making for the electoral system Combat Aircraft. This paper presents a decision support system using MCDM method with a combination of methods Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Method Techniques For Preference Order By Similarity (TOPSIS).The methods use an experimental design technique to assign weights attributes and then the operating methods for building models of decision making. As an illustration of this model using six examples of anaircraft type that are still in operation this era with 6 kinds of criteria which determine in air to air dogfight. By using the MCDM method will generate preference value to rank each alternative type of aircraft.
