Is this your interpretation also ?

Hi John,

Thanks for taking the time to read through the tutorial. 0 AOB is the moment the target is pointing directly at you, i.e. the moment you cross his track. If he is pointing directly away from you he is at a 180 deg AOB. In other words, AOB is the the bearing to your boat if you were standing on the deck of the target.
