Simulation-based design plays an important role in the study and manufacturing of weapon equipment, in which effectiveness evaluation is one of essential tasks. While a variety of effectiveness evaluation approaches have been proposed, they are becoming incapable with the increase in the complexity of weapon equipment systems. In this case, data driven methods have been explored to address the effectiveness evaluation issue. In this paper, we propose a new CatBoost based data driven method for assessing and predicting the effectiveness of equipment and give a procedure for guiding the use of this method. We illustrate our method with an air defense missile weapon system, which demonstrates the validity of our method compared with state-of-the-art methods.
