The objective of the paper is to present a new approach for target behavior tendency estimation, graded as “Approaching”, “Stationary”, “Receding”. It is developed on the principles of Dezert-Smarandache theory of plausible and paradoxical reasoning. The case of two independent sensors is considered in the paper. They provide amplitude feature measurements, which serve as an evidence for corresponded decision-making procedures. In some real world situations it is difficult to finalize these procedures, because of discrepancies in measurements interpretation. In these cases the decision-making process leads to conflicts, which cannot be resolved using the well-known methods. The aim of the performed study is to present and to approve the ability of DSmT to finalize successfully the decision-making process and to assure awareness about the tendencies of target behavior in case of discrepancies in measurements interpretation. An example is provided to illustrate the benefit of the proposed approach application in comparison of fuzzy logic approach, and its ability to improve the overall tracking performance.
