This paper develops a deep reinforcement learning based observer control policy for autonomous bearings-only tracking of a moving target. The observer manoeuvre problem is formulated as a belief Markov decision process, where the belief state is represented by the posterior of a cubature Kalman filter (CKF). The reward function is designed to address two conflicting objectives: minimising the absolute target position estimation error (Euclidean distance) and maintaining CKF estimation consistency (Mahalanobis distance). The reward is formulated as a geometric interpolation between the two objectives on the Pareto front, parametrised by a weighting factor $β\in [0,1]$. The policy is implemented as a deep Q-network (DQN) trained over 50,000 episodes. Performance is evaluated over 5,000 Monte Carlo episodes and compared against two baselines: the perpendicular-to-bearing heuristic and the D-optimal Fisher information maximisation criterion. The results show that the DQN policy at $β= 0.7$ achieves the best trade-off between accuracy and robustness: it matches the information-theoretic baseline on mean tracking accuracy while reducing the worst-case error by nearly a factor of ten, owing to the implicit filter-consistency regularisation provided by the Mahalanobis term in the reward.
