Abstract

One of the most important aspects of military logistics is ammunition. Ammunition is one of the most crucial materials to consider in order to win a war. Therefore, this study examines the criteria affecting ammunition consumption. The aim is to provide war planners with an analytical perspective. Military expert opinions were consulted for the evaluation of the criteria, and fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (FMCDM) was chosen as the solution methodology. The Level Based Weight Assessment (LBWA), commonly used in military problems in the literature, was employed as the method. The most important criterion is the number of enemy targets. This is followed by interceptions and aerial photographs containing potential targets obtained through intelligence activities. Finally, the changes in criterion weights were examined using different scenarios for the coefficient of elasticity value, and the results were validated.
