You're right about calling any "other" aircraft a "target".  In
fact, out friendly local civilian FAA Air Traffic Controllers refer
to any aircraft they are tracking as a target.  The term is used
throughout the aviation community to refer to anything one can
follow on radar, whether for aiming guns or for directing traffic.
