With the present invention, there is provided a method for classification of the motion of a moving target by means of a radar signal received from the target. The method comprises the steps of creating different motion-specific models using Hidden Markov Model for all the motions desired to be classified; obtaining a database which includes the created different motion models; detecting a target by a pulsed radar; determining the range cell of the detected target within a coherent processing interval; storing signals received, at each pulse within a coherent processing interval, from the target within said range cell; finding feature vectors, at a certain frequency, from a continuous signal obtained by processing the stored signals and adding them together; generating a feature vector time series by arranging the found feature vectors in succession; comparing the generated feature vector time series to the Hidden Markov Model-based motion models in the database so as to calculate its probability for each motion model that is present in the database; selecting the motion determined by the motion model with the highest calculated probability as the motion of the target.
