Entropy, Vol. 23, Pages 1292: Threat Assessment Method of Low Altitude Slow Small (LSS) Targets Based on Information Entropy and AHP (Entropy)

In order to deal with the new threat of low altitude slow small (LSS) targets in air defense operations and provide support for LSS target interception decision, we propose a simple and reliable LSS target threat assessment method. Based on the detection capability of LSS targets and their threat characteristics, this paper proposes a threat evaluation factor and threat degree quantization function in line with the characteristics of LSS targets. LSS targets not only have the same threat characteristics as traditional air targets but also have the unique characteristics of flexible mobility and dynamic mission planning. Therefore, we use analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and information entropy to determine the subjective and objective threat factor weights of LSS targets and use the optimization model to combine them to obtain more reliable evaluation weights. Finally, the effectiveness and credibility of the proposed method are verified by experimental simulation.
