Abstract

In order to supervise and control the technical risk of the complex products, the paper proposed an assessment method of the advancement degree of difficulty for complex products based on the Fuzzy Integrated Evaluation. On the basis of the assessment process of the technology readiness, a three-tiered fuzzy integrated evaluation model was established according to the advancement degree of difficulty level standard. Two methods, the Analytic Hierarchy Process and the confidence criterion, were used to ensure the effectiveness and objectivity of the assessment result. Finally, the applicability of the evaluation method was verified by an actual application sample.

The work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation (Grant NO.71332003) and the Basic Defense Technology Research Projects (Z132012A002).
