Abstract
This paper presents a new approach based on Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), named PROMETHEE-SAPEVO-M1, through its implementation and feasibility related to the decision-making process regarding the evaluation of helicopters of attack of the Brazilian Navy. The proposed methodology aims to present an integration of ordinal evaluation into the cardinal procedure from the PROMETHEE method, enabling to perform qualitative and quantitative data and generate the criteria weights by pairwise evaluation, transparently. The modeling provides three models of preference analysis, as partial, complete, and outranking by intervals, along with an intra-criterion analysis by veto threshold, enabling the analysis of the performance of an alternative in a specific criterion. As a demonstration of the application, is carried out a case study by the PROMETHEE-SAPEVO-M1 web platform, addressing a strategic analysis of attack helicopters to be acquired by the Brazilian Navy, from the need to be evaluating multiple specifications with different levels of importance within the context problem. The modeling implementation in the case study is made in detail, first performing the alternatives in each criterion and then presenting the results by three different models of preference analysis, along with the intra-criterion analysis and a rank reversal procedure. Moreover, is realized a comparison analysis to the PROMETHEE method, exploring the main features of the PROMETHEE-SAPEVO-M1. Moreover, a section of discussion is presented, exposing some features and main points of the proposal. Therefore, this paper provides a valuable contribution to academia and society since it represents the application of an MCDA method in the state of the art, contributing to the decision-making resolution of the most diverse real problems.
Highlights
Based on the Brazilian Federal Constitution [1], the Brazilian Navy (BN) aims to prepare and employ naval power contributing to the defense of the country, guaranteeing constitutional powers and ensuring law and order, fulfilling the duties provided by the law, with emphasis on those related to the Maritime Authority, aiming to contribute to safeguarding national interests [2]. 4.0/).Even in a time of peace, it is essential that the BN has modern equipment to guarantee its sovereignty and strategic interests that support Brazil foreign policy and positions in international forums [3]
The performance is based on a pairwise comparison using the ordinal scale presented in Table 2, similar to the procedure aborded in Section 3.2.1, where each criterion will be compared to the other from set C, enabling to obtain a relation of importance of c j by the numerical punctuation obtained in ∑ cij
The modeling is a novel approach based on the PROMETHEE methods, integrating the concepts presented in two multi-criteria methods, enabling performing quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously

Based on the Brazilian Federal Constitution [1], the Brazilian Navy (BN) aims to prepare and employ naval power contributing to the defense of the country, guaranteeing constitutional powers and ensuring law and order, fulfilling the duties provided by the law, with emphasis on those related to the Maritime Authority, aiming to contribute to safeguarding national interests [2]. The NP guides, following the National Defense Strategy (NDS), the BN strategic planning, whose compliance imposes the availability of marine forces able to act in line with the political-strategic and economic magnitude of Brazil in the international scenario [4]. According to the objectives and guidelines established in the National Defense Policy (NDP) and NDS, high-level documents that condition the preparation and use of the Armed. The Force must be prepared both to act in an interstate crisis and to monitor and suppress the actions of adverse groups practicing illegal activities in BJW [5]. Highlighting that the addressed problem provides influence in local and external perspectives presented in the context [6]
