bow target A crossing target with a direction of relative motion of about 095 R to 175 R or 185 R to 265 R, seen anywhere on the radar screen. That is, if you imagine yourself in front of one of these targets, it would be approaching somewhere on your port or starboard bow. Compare to quarter target, beam target, and head-on target.
