Key element protection of combat system is a challenging problem in modern combat. Effectively evaluating the key elements would be of great help in force deployment in crisis situations. This paper proposes a new evaluation method that combines expert evaluation, PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution). Specifically, we first use expert evaluation to get attributes' values of each element. Then, we apply PCA to extract principal components from elements' attributes. Next, we use TOPSIS to calculate elements' proximities to ideal solutions under different principal components. Finally, we synthesize each element's proximity under different principal component to get the relative superiority. In addition, we test the proposed method in an experimental combat scenario, and show the plausibility of this method.

A framework for key element evaluation of combat system

Systematic battle troop (SBT) is a complex system composed of its systematic battle forces based on system theory. This paper discussed the systematic battle forces constitutions of the SBT and based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, proposed the Systematic battle forces coordinating degree models. Using the models, the one-way state coordinating degree and dynamic coordinating degree of the two sub modules were researched, and on the basis of this, the whole coordinating degree was calculated to evaluate the whole coordinating development results of the SBT among the operation processes. From this, the evaluation to the systematic battle forces of army tactics modules has been solved comparatively and also supplied the scientific method for quickly coordinating grouping of the SBT under the condition of operation.
