Abstract
The military decision-making process is a proven analytical process for designing operations, troops’ movements, logistics or air defense planning. The hybrid FAHP-MABAC model is tested for obtaining/selecting the results for an optimal firing position of the guided anti-tank missile battery (GAMB).This study provides a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model so that the confidence interval of fuzzy numbers describes the comparison in pairs whose degree is not determined before the comparison. By using mathematical expressions the confidence interval is brought into direct connection with the degree of certainty of decision-makers/expert of the comparison performed. In the group decision-making, the confidence intervals differ depending on the decision-maker/expert’s opinion. Finally the sensitivity analysis is used to determine how sensitive a decision model is. The suggested model is expected to contribute to the development of the science of military-operations as well as to prove itself useful to the actors related to defense.

multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is a systematic way of problem solving for any scientific research area
This paper presents a hybrid model, using the fuzzificated Saaty’s scale and the MABAC method (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison) (Božanić et al, 2015; Božanić et al, 2016a; Božanić et al, 2016b; Pamučar et al, 2016b)
This model is illustrated by an example of decision-making during the selection of firing position (POP) of the guided anti-tank missile battery (GAMB) in the Army's defensive operation
Summary
MCDM is a systematic way of problem solving for any scientific research area. The military decision-making process is a proven analytical process for designing operations, troops’ movements, logistics or air defense planning. In the decision-making process for these problems, a large number of key and different criteria are involved. The aim of anti-tank operations in a defensive operation is to prevent accidental penetration of the enemy's armored forces into our elements of combat disposition (Jotić & Slavković,2016). The useful tools which support the decision-making process are the methods of multi criteria decision-making. The scale is used for obtaining criteria weight coefficients, while the MABAC method is used for the final ranking. This model is illustrated by an example of decision-making during the selection of firing position (POP) of the GAMB in the Army's defensive operation.
