This paper presents a selection of issues related to the methods of evaluation and selectionof advanced weapon systems for armed forces. The paper’s focus is ranking in the form of typicalMultidimensional Comparative Analysis Methods, and the AHP method which represents a largegroup of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis methods. Both methods were illustrated with a practicalcomputational example related to combat aircraft. The example can help determine the defensive capabilitiesof friendly forces; it can also support the decision-making process in the acquisition of novelarmament, including aircraft, ships, surface-to-air missile defense systems, etc.Keywords: armament, military aviation, decision making support, multi-criteria analysis, AHPmethod, ranking.
