Selecting Weapon System Using Relative Distance Metric Method

This paper proposes a new fuzzy ranking method named relative distance metric method, which can overcome some of the shortcomings for previous ranking methods and select the best alternative in selecting weapon systems. There are two objectives in this paper. Firstly, we propose a new ranking method and compare our method with other methods by many examples. The second objective is applying the proposed method to rank the best self-propelled Howitzers and main battle tanks.
