In this paper, we study the target controllability problem of networked dynamical systems, in which we are tasked to steer a subset of network states towards a desired objective. More specifically, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the structural target controllability problem of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with symmetric state matrices, such as undirected dynamical networks with unknown link weights. To achieve our goal, we first characterize the generic rank of symmetrically structured matrices, as well as the modes of any numerical realization. Subsequently, we provide a graph-theoretic necessary and sufficient condition for the structural controllability of undirected networks with multiple control nodes. Finally, we derive a graph-theoretic necessary and sufficient condition for structural target controllability of undirected networks. Remarkably, apart from the standard reachability condition, only local topological information is needed for the verification of structural target controllability.
