A novel combination rule for evidence is proposed to deal with the "veto problem" in Dempster rule and the subjectively assigning the conflict information in the existing modified methods. This novel method combines the defined complementary evidence directly instead of using the pure Dempster multiplicative strategy

which successfully solves the "veto problem". It transfers the conflict to the evidence weight which can be processed directly with the novel combination rule instead of assigning the conflict subjectively. It is regarded as a generalized additive aggregation operator

which not only satisfies the commutative law and associative law

but also can combine the single focus elements directly and compound focus elements based on TBM. With the help of a multi-sensor fusion recognition example

the superiority of the proposed combination rule is illustrated and compared in detail.
