Research on decision-making of wartime ammunition replenishment mode based on AHP-Ideal point method

Abstract

This article adopts a combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Ideal Point Method (IPM) to construct a decision-making model for ammunition supply methods, which includes six influencing factors: operational process time dimension, battlefield advance distance, task importance, task urgency, possibility of resource allocation around and ammunition demand. Firstly, we select four typical ammunition supply methods: fixed point supply, mobile supply, adjustment supply, and accompanying supply, and determine the decision-making attributes of the ideal situation. Then, we calculate the weights of each influencing factor through expert evaluation and scoring. Finally, based on the numerical calculation of each influencing factor given by various experts on the battlefield and the closeness of each ideal wartime ammunition supply method, the one with the highest closeness is the optimal wartime ammunition supply method. Through case analysis, the effectiveness of this method is verified, which has guiding significance for the decision-making of ammunition supply methods in actual wartime, and provides methods and ideas for in-depth research on ammunition supply decision-making.
