Abstract: Threat evaluation (TE) is essential in battlefield situation awareness and military decision-making. The current processing methods for uncertain information are not effective enough for their excessive subjectivity and difficulty to obtain detailed information about enemy weapons. In order to optimize TE on uncertain information, an approach based on interval Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and the interval SD-G1 (SD standard deviation) method is proposed in this article. By interval SD-G1 method, interval number comprehensive weights can be calculated by combining subjective and objective weights. Specifically, the subjective weight is calculated by interval G1 method, which is an extension of G1 method into interval numbers. And the objective weight is calculated by interval SD method, which is an extension of SD method with the mean and SD of the interval array defined in this paper. Sample evaluation results show that with the interval SD-G1 method, weights of target threat attributes can be better calculated, and the approach combining interval TOPSIS and interval SD-G1 can lead to more reasonable results. Additionally, the mean and SD of interval arrays can provide a reference for other fields such as interval analysis and decision-making.
