Attacking decision of underwater multiple targets by using Analytic Network Process (ANP)

Analytic network process (ANP) is used in under-water multi-target attacking logic and decision (UMALD), which is the key to settle multi-target attacking problem of underwater vehicle. According to the characteristics of the inter-effects among factors in UMALD, the method of UMALD by using ANP is researched. The index set of multi-target attacking decision and the ANP model of UMALD is established. The optimized multi-target attacking decision is achieved via computation of supermatrix. Practical application indicates that the ANP method is a preferred method for UMALD.
