Abstract :This study proposes an extended version of MAIRCA (MultiAtributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis) for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) selection using the interval valued q rung orthopair fuzzy (IVqROF) number. Firstly, the opinions of three experts were sought regarding the selection of UAV. 10 criteria and 4 alternatives were determined for UAV selection. Experts expressed their opinions using linguistic variables, and these linguistic variables were converted into IVqROF numbers. For criteria weights, the opinions of 3 experts were converted to group opinion using the aggregation operator. A similar process was carried out for 4 alternatives based on 10 criteria. This study proposed a new approach to the literature by examining the number of IVqROFs in the MAIRCA method. It also proposes a new model for the field of UAV selection. IVqROF number ensures more advantages than other fuzzy numbers such as intuitionistic fuzzy number and the Pythagorean fuzzy number as it can adjust the restriction on the membership and nonmembership degrees in evaluating the judgments of the experts.
