Abstract

All major weapon system acquisition and development programs in the defense forces have a long term effect on the defense preparedness and economy of country. Therefore the cost –effective analysis of such systems is very important. For a comparison of cost effectiveness of two tanks for example , their relative ratings can be used as effective index. A model has been developed in this paper which evaluate the performance of tanks using DEAHP approach . Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been proposed in this paper to generate local weights of the alternatives from pairwise comparison judgement matrices used in the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). DEA is further proposed to aggregate the local weights of alternatives in terms of different criteria to compute final weights . The underlying assumption behind the approach is explained. The approach uses the qualitative information given by experts in tank warfare and technology to determine the relative ratings of the tanks . The method can be useful in the cases where adequate data for rigorous analysis is not available .
