Use of the PSI-CoCoSo Method in the Evaluation of Imagers for use in Helicopters of the Military Police of the State of Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

© 2024 IEEE.This article aims to assist the evaluation of imaging models for deployment in public security helicopters, specifically for the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro State. It aims to establish a comprehensive technical framework for determining the crucial prerequisites of such equipment, employing a multicriteria decision support approach. In addition to indicating available solutions capable of ensuring the effective development of missions. The analysis combined two methods, the PSI (Preference Selection Index) and the CoCoSo, the Combined Compromise Solution, the first being used to determine the weights of the criteria and the second to evaluate the alternatives to each criterion, generating a solution that represents a compromise between the different options and based on this solution, classify them according to their overall adequacy. The evaluations of the models about the predefined criteria considered only the technical data provided by the equipment manufacturers without incorporating subjective criteria. The analysis of the results achieved through the methodological approach adopted constitutes a robust foundation to guide crucial decisions on the definition of the most appropriate imaging cameras for use in helicopters used in police air missions, as it clearly and objectively highlights the most advantageous options and aligned with the specific needs of this branch of activity. They are enabling decision-makers to make the right choices, which will play a significant role in improving the performance of security forces in their responsibilities, as well as providing a substantial increase in the protection of society.
