In this paper, a new fuzzy fading memory (FFM) is developed in order to aid a modified input estimation (MIE) technique and enhance its performance in tracking high maneuvering targets. The MIE has been introduced recently and performs well in tracking low and medium maneuvering targets. However, due to some modeling errors, the accuracy of this tracker may be seriously degraded in presence of high maneuvers. To cope with this difficulty, an intelligent approach based on FFM is presented in this paper. Simulation results prove the efficiency of the proposed method in tracking high maneuvering targets.
