While detached to NAS Fallon, Nevada, earlier this year, S-3 and F/A-18 crews from VS-32 and VFA-82 aboard the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) cooperated for the first AGM-84K Standoff Land-Attack Missile Expanded Response missile firing using airborne retargeting to strike a target that had not been prebriefed on 6 May. All targeting information was received in flight via datalink. This shot marked the first SLAM-ER live fire event controlled by a fleet S-3B. The target was a simulated surface-to-air missile radar site located on the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division Sea Target Range off the California coast.
