“…Whether combat operations are conducted on maneuvering land (land combat) or in urban space, one of the main weapons that contributes to the success of both offensive and defensive operations is an anti-armor missile system with an anti-tank guided missile system (ATGM). The development of modern armored vehicles (tanks [24], armored personnel carriers, Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP), wheeled armored vehicles, etc.) with varying degrees of ballistic and mine protection has had a direct impact on the development and improvement of anti-tank weapons.…”

This study considers the problem of selecting an anti-tank missile system (ATMS). The mentioned problem is solved by applying a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making model (MCDM) based on two methods: the DIBR (Defining Interrelationships Between Ranked criteria) and the MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation area Comparison) methods. The methods are modified by applying rough numbers, which present a very suitable area for considering uncertainty following decision-making processes. The DIBR method is a young method with a simple mathematical apparatus which is based on defining the relation between ranked criteria, that is, adjacent criteria, reducing the number of comparisons. This method defines weight coefficients of criteria, based on the opinion of experts. The MABAC method is used to select the best alternative from the set of the offered ones, based on the distance of the criteria function of every observed alternative from the border approximate area. The paper has two main innovations. With the presented decision-making support model, the ATMS selection problem is raised to a higher level, which is based on a proven mathematical apparatus. In terms of methodology, the main innovation is successful application of the rough DIBR method, which has not been treated in this way in the literature so far. Additionally, an analysis of the literature related to the research problem as well as to the methods used is carried out. After the application of the model, the sensitivity analysis of the output results of the presented model to the change of the weight coefficients of criteria is performed, as well as the comparison of the results of the presented model with other methods. Finally, the proposed model is concluded to be stable and multi-criteria decision-making methods can be a reliable tool to help decision makers in the selection process. The presented model has the potential of being applied in other case studies as it has proven to be a good means for considering uncertainty.

“…HE accelerated development of tanks and various types of armored vehicles began after the Second World War as a result of the interconnectedness of science and technology. Means for anti-tank warfare have been developed in parallel with the development of modern armored vehicles (tanks [1], armored fighting vehicles, Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles (MRAPs), wheeled armored vehicles, etc.) that have varying degrees of ballistic and anti-mine protection.…”

The modern way of conducting combat operations has led to an expansion in the development of various combat systems. Experiences from modern military operations indicate that regardless of the place of combat operations, maneuvering ground or urban space, the systems for counter-attack ATGMs represent a very important weapon that contributes to the success of combat operations and is significantly represented in the arsenal of many armies. The paper presents the development of five generations of anti-armor missile systems, as important weapons whose main task is to destroy and neutralize tanks, combat armored vehicles, MRAP vehicles and non-combat vehicles, fortifications and bunkers at different firing ranges. Different tactical-technical features of the mentioned systems, development of several different types and generations of anti-aircraft missiles and the conditions in which they are used have led to the complexity of the problem of anti-aircraft missile systems research. An analysis of the development of anti-armor missile systems was carried out and a conclusion was drawn on the degree of efficiency of the mentioned systems in combat operations, with a proposal for the implementation of anti-armor missile systems of the third, fourth and fifth generation in infantry units. The paper also shows the requirements for the next generation of anti-armor systems.
