Hava savunma sistemlerinde analitik ağ süreçleri yardımıyla tehdit değerleme

One of the most crucial steps of air defense domain is evaluation of targets. The function of the threat evaluation component is to compare the threats of known target candidates (tracks) in order to determine which targets shall be engaged first. Threat level depends on track classification and the defended asset, e.g. a bomber is a larger threat against ground units than a fighter. Also it depends on position, course and speed of the target relative to a defended asset. In this study, our objective is to apply the Saaty's well-known multi criteria decision making method, Analytic Network Process to threat evaluation process and interpret the results. To do so, some scenarios are created with a number of aircrafts approaching to a defended asset from different directions. Some of them are ignored regarding their intent with the help of our intent estimation model, while the rest are evaluated and assigned with a target value. By that, obtained values can be used in sequencing or prioritizing the targets in a war environment.
