Selection of Squadron Main Base Air Force Fighters Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process Method

Determining a location where facilities will be built is one of the important factors in both business and military planning processes. Indonesia, as a country with a large area, has problems in determining the right location to place its fighter squadrons in the national defense system. This study used the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to solve the problem. There are five criteria considered in this study, there are deterrence strategy, balance strategy, aviation support facility, base support facility and environment. The study is aimed at obtaining six of the 10 Air Force air bases eligible for deployment of fighter squadrons. The six selected candidates were “C” (15.17%), “A” (15.16%), “F” (12.25%), “B” (12.16%), “E” (10.09%) and “D” (10.07%).
