Investigating the Desirability of Navy Aircraft Service Life Extension Programs

Building on prior work on optimal replacement of aging aircraft, this paper presents three methodologies to evaluate prospective aviation Service Life Extension Programs (SLEPs) and applies these methodologies to US Navy F/A-18E/F data. While considerable uncertainty remains as to the values of key parameters (e.g. the cost of F/A-18E/F SLEPs), the preponderance of the evidence available at this juncture favors undertaking SLEPs on F/A-18E/Fs rather than replacing them with new Joint Strike Fighters.     

群体可拓层次分析法在C~4ISR系统效能指标赋权中的应用

指标赋权是C4ISR系统效能评估的重要环节,提出了一种新的指标赋权方法——群体可拓层次分析法(GEAHP),较好地解决了指标赋权过程中多专家意见集结的问题,以及判断矩阵的合理构建和一致性检验问题。描述了GEAHP的基本过程,并通过实例对其正确性进行了验证。
