Threat assessment of aerial targets based on improved GRA-TOPSIS method and three-way decisions


  • Received: 19 March 2023 Revised: 25 May 2023 Accepted: 26 May 2023 Published: 08 June 2023
  • Target threat assessment is a critical aspect of information warfare and can offer valuable auxiliary support to combat command decision-making. Aiming to address the shortcomings of three decision-making methods in air combat target assessment, such as the inability to effectively handle uncertain situation information and quantitatively rank the decision-making targets according to their importance, a dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy decision model based on the improved GRA-TOPSIS method and three-way decisions is proposed. First, the target attribute weight is obtained by cosine intuitionistic fuzzy entropy algorithm; then, a novel intuitionistic fuzzy distance measure is introduced, and grey incidence analysis and TOPSIS are used to build the conditional probability for three-way decisions that fully utilize the existing information and reflect the consistency of dynamic change trend; finally, the comprehensive loss function matrix is constructed and the threat classification results are obtained using the decision rules. The example analysis shows that the proposed method can not only effectively handle complex battlefield situations and dynamic uncertain information, but it can also classify targets, improving the effectiveness and rationality of decision-making and providing a reference basis for scientific command decision-making.
