To the problems of uncertain property values of target recognition(TR), a target recognition method based on
intuitionistic fuzzy reasoning(IFR) is proposed. Firstly, the inaccuracy and vulnerabilities of the existing TR methods are
analyzed as well as the specific aerial TR and the characteristics of recognition issues stated. Then, the membership and
nonmembership functions of property variables of system are designed. Finally, the inference rules of the system are
constructed, algorithms of reasoning and defuzzification are designed, and the rationality of constructed rules is checked.
Simulation results show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method.
