Solving an ammunition distribution network design problem using multi-objective mathematical modeling, combined AHP-TOPSIS, and GIS

•A strategic-level ammunition distribution network design problem is studied.•Multiobjective optimization model determines locations and allocations of depots.•Objective functions are to minimize transportation cost and average risk levels.•Potential locations and their risk levels are determined using AHP, TOPSIS, and GIS.•Pareto-optimal solutions are found for a real case under different scenarios.
