Abstract

The Warrior Platform is an ambitious personal combat system improvement project that the Army is pursuing with the goal of enhancing the combat power of combatants as well as improving their defense and survivability. It is being developed with the goal of integrating combat equipment, combat gear, and combat clothing into a single combat system called the Warrior Platform to maximize the combat power of each combatant and actively respond to changes in the future battlefield environment. Through this, the purpose is to supplement the power gap caused by the reduction in manpower resources by improving the eliteness and combat efficiency of each combatant. In this study, the combat effectiveness of the mission equipment of the integrated personal combat system system compared to the existing personal combat equipment was analyzed. To this end, the combat efficiency weights through pairwise comparison with existing individual combat equipment were derived using the AHP technique, and an approach was presented on how to reflect this as a combat power index of the ground weapon effectiveness analysis model and simulate it. Unlike the effectiveness analysis of a specific weapon system, this study presents an objective and quantitative method on how to analyze the impact of changes in mission equipment that individual combatants must have on combat effectiveness, and it is judged that it can be utilized to verify the effectiveness for the future power-up of individual combat systems.
