UAV Selection Using Fuzzy AHP and PROMETHEE Method

UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) is an aircraft that can fly by remote control or automated system and does not have the capacity to carry people. The optimal selection of UAVs is critical for the successful conduct of operations and the prevention of loss of life and property. The aim of this study is to prioritize the criteria affecting the selection of UAVs and to rank the Strategic UAVs based on these criteria. Thus, it is aimed to improve the UAV selection process of decision makers. As a result of the literature search, there were no studies on the most important criteria affecting the selection of operational, tactical and strategic UAVs. Therefore, Fuzzy AHP and PROMETHEE methods were applied to fulfill these objectives. As a result, it was determined that the most important criteria in the selection of UAVs are realizability, flight stability and payload success rate value.
