Özet

The paper addresses the selection of the most favorable alternative in the form of assault rifles to meet the requirements arising from modern combat operations.The complexity of the problem, conditioned by the different structural elements of automatic rifles and the specific situations of their use, has caused the application of Multi-Criteria Decision-making(MCDM)methods.A hybrid model was developed to guide the selection of the appropriate automatic rifle. The criteria were defined by experts, where the calculation of the weight coefficients of criteria was performed using the LMAW methodEmploying the grey EDAS method for MCDM, the study identifies an assault rifle that offers the most advantageous capabilities for carrying out firing tasks in the context of daily combat operations, with the aim of equipping the armed forces and raising theoperational capability of the units. The validity of this model was verified through sensitivity analysis involving the adjustment of criteria weight coefficients.
