Attributes of the decision model

We will create a decision model that e.g. airports can use to decide on which type of anti drone system to use. For this decision model, we will look at the main attributes that the anti drone systems have. We will first summarize a list of these attributes to get a clear overview of what we all need to take into account when creating the decision model. These attributes are based on the recommendation report. Here, we distinguished between three different types of airports and identified all the USE-stakeholders for each type. Using this stakeholder analysis, we came up with the following list of attributes.

Airport specific attributes

  • Type of the airport (Commercial, Military, Recreational)
  • Size of the airport

Preference specific attributes

  • Cost of the solution
    • Initial costs (purchase)
    • Long term cost (maintenance)
  • Range of the solution
  • Deployment speed of the solution
  • Safety of the solution
  • Emmision of the solution (CO2)
  • Reliability of the solution
  • Hindrance to immediate environment of solution
  • Types of drones that the solution can be used for
  • Scalability of the solution in terms of a growing airport


Questions in the decision model

The next step is for the decision model to rank or score these attributes, so that the decision model can link the final outcome of the attributes to actual solutions. To score these solutions, multiple choice questions were used.

Determining the outcome of the decision model

At the end of the model, we thus get an outcome for each attribute. We then assign weights to each attribute, and this is the final result that will uniquely determine the solution proposed by the decision model.
