In this paper, we will point out that Chen's (1996) paper has someerrors. A weapon system is large and complex, it has multi-level,multi-factor and multi-hierarchy features. Chen's method does notnormalize each criterion's scores, which will make a wrong decisionunder the following conditions: (I) there are many evils for rankscores; (II) a criterion has many factors; (II) the total scores ofsystems have a large difference under this criterion, and (IV) onecriterion's weight is larger than the other criteria (numericalillustration is shown in Section 5). Therefore, Chen's method is nota general method for the evaluation of weapon systems. After pointingout some errors in Chen's paper, to overcome these errors, we willrevise it and propose a general method of the evaluation of weaponsystems.
