| Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) was an integral part of concept definition for the Marine Corps AAAV program. Three levels of trade studies were performed: (1) whole system trades, (2) subsystem/component trades, and (3) concept selection trades. Whole system trades determined the "best" balance of AAAV "core capability" performance requirements, cost, and weight. Subsystem/component level trades selected specific technologies to meet the performance requirements defined ... |
