The flowchart begins with the criteria for aircraft performance evaluation, including range, endurance, operating cost, maximum speed, payload capacity, maximum operating altitude, number of positions, torpedoes, missiles, and sonobuoys. These criteria and alternatives are confirmed by three consulted FAB officers. The PSI method is used to determine criteria weights. A decision-matrix is constructed for the alternatives, which include P-8 Poseidon, Atlantic 2 (ATL2), Tu-142, IL-38, Kawasaki P-1, ATR 72 ASW, C-295 MPA, Shaanxi Y-9, and CP-140 Aurora. The multicriteria method CoCoSo is then applied using the weights. The process results in a baseline ranking, followed by sensitivity analysis for lambda, robustness, and decision-support findings.Conceptual structure of the decision-support model and sensitivity assessment.
