Abstract

Determination of landing beach is the most important power of the Indonesian Marines Corps in carrying out amphibious operations. Prerequisites for determination of landing beach must conform to predefined parameters and functions. The aim of this paper is to determine the most feasible landing beach for amphibious operation in Sorong Regency by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The research stages are starting from the determination of the weight value of the selection criteria and the weight value of landing beach alternative. It results from pairwise comparison analysis in the framework of AHP. The selection of landing beach that has objective values in accordance with the data can assist a decision makers to solve a multi-criteria problem in amphibious operations.
