An AHP-ME-IOWA Model for Assessing National Space Technology Scientific and Technological Strength: A Case Study of the United States.

ABSTRACT: Space technology, a frontier of global scientific innovation, is crucial for competitive edges and national tech innovation. Amid intensified international competition and rapid technological change, scientifically evaluating a country's Scientific and Technological Strength in Space Technology (STSST) is vital. A model is innovatively proposed in this study called "Analytic Hierarchy Process-Maximum Entropy-Induced Ordered Weighted Average (AHP-ME-IOWA)" for the assessment of STSST. First, an STSST assessment indicator system is developed with four sub-dimensions: scientific research, industrial operation, innovation output, and policy resources. Second, the AHP model is used to convert experts' qualitative judgments on indicator importance into initial individual weight vectors. Subseque
