Application the MABAC method in support of decision-making on the use of force in a defensive operation

Abstract

This paper presents the application of a new method of multicriteria comparison of border approximate area-MABAC. The basis of the method is reflected in defining a distance of criterion function of each observed alternative from the border approximate area. The border approximate area is defined by a separate procedure for each criteria and depends on the value of all alternatives according to the observed criteria. The method is shown through six simple steps made in order to support decision-making on the use of force in a defensive operation. Previous studies were used for the definition of criteria and their weight coefficients.
