No matter which way a new weapon is acquired, it must complete the evaluation phase before its service can begin. Through the evaluation phase, we could find out whether a weapon meets the field needs or the users’ needs. Without the operational evaluation, we may have wasted a lot of budget before finding out that the weapon does not fulfill our needs. This kind of waste could leave us a great distance behind from the advanced countries when we are already in a military budget contraction era. This research studies the operational effectiveness evaluation in weapon acquisition and uses the operational test and evaluation of fighter jets as an example. Through this research, we could meet the goal of building a small but tough military. Based on the questionnaires collected from experts, an analysis can be performed using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP). In the hierarchy, there are four dimensions and 14 indicators. The four dimensions are: radar performance, flight performance, electronic warfare performance and weapon performance. Under the four dimensions, there are 14 indicators, such as detecting range. The results show that the radar performance is the most important among the four dimensions, with a priority of 47%. This means that the radar performance is what the analysts and test pilots most concerned about. Detecting range (25.5%), target locked ability (16.9%), effective strike range (16.6%), ability of weapon locking the target (10.1%) and jamming ability (10%) are the most important indicators. The results could provide a good reference for operational effectiveness evaluation test items under a limited time and fund setting, and such a test and evaluation process could be effective in practice.
