An Approach Utilizing The Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS Method To Unmanned Air Vehicle Selection

Abstract

The intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method is one of the popular multi-criteria decision making methods today, as it allows decision makers to reflect their views objectively. In this study, an intuitionistic fuzzy based decision making mechanism was created for the selection of UAVs, which have a very important place in today's military and civil sense. Experts in the field that is decision makers determined the criteria that are important in the selection of UAVs in this method. Afterward, they expressed their opinions about the UAVs to be evaluated according to these criteria, provided that each criterion is independent of each other. The most suitable UAV was selected among the target-oriented UAVs. The method used in the study and the mechanism established will shed light on many studies.
