Abstract: The invention relates to a method for decision support of a first combat aircraft in a duel situation with a second combat aircraft. The method comprises the steps of: a) determining (3) a first plurality of combat value parameters of the first combat aircraft (1) and determining (3) a second plurality of combat value parameters of the second combat aircraft (2), wherein the second combat aircraft (2) is different to the first combat aircraft (1), b) analyzing (4) the first and the second plurality of combat value parameters determined in the previous step (step a)) by fitting the first and the second plurality of combat value parameters to a predefined model, and c) combining (5) the first plurality of combat value parameters analyzed in the previous step (step b)) to calculate a first value and combining (5) the second plurality of combat value parameters analyzed in the previous step (step b)) to calculate a second value, wherein the first value and the second value are compared to each other to determine the optimum success probability data of the first combat aircraft (1) and of the second combat aircraft (2) adapted for decision support in the duel situation. In this way, a reliable and fast tool for the pilot is provided while the tool is easy to handle and assists the pilot in order to make a quick and efficient decision in duel situations.
