In order to cope with the interdependence and interrelationship between evaluation metrics in conventional power index model,and eliminate the subjectivity of expert's preference in the evaluation process,this paper proposes a framework that supports to create power index model for operational capability evaluation of weapon equipments based on the analytic network process(ANP)and simulation experiment.Then it discusses two essential techniques,the method to design and optimize of networked evaluation index system and the approach to construct ANP supermatrix based on expert's knowledge and simulation,of the proposed framework in detail.Finally,taking an anti-ship operations scenario of submarine as example,it builds corresponding networked index system and ANP based evaluation model with applying above-mentioned methods,and verifies the reasonability and effectiveness of proposed framework and techniques by comparing and analyzing the simulation results.
