Aiming at the complexity and randomness of index system and judgment matrix in analytic hierarchy process(AHP),a convenient operational effectiveness evaluation method for MCM equipment is proposed. This method constructs the operational effectiveness evaluation index system of mission–capability suitable for multi-mission analysis, and gives the effectiveness evaluation model. In this paper,the operational effectivenesses of two types of equipment suitable for reef MCM are evaluated,and the effectiveness evaluation results that meet the requirements of operational tasks are obtained with combination of expert scoring and qualitative evaluation. The effectiveness and feasibility of this method are verified,which has reference value for the configuration of reef MCM equipment.
