With 24 of the Navy’s finest sailors assigned. Operation’s Electronic Missile Division (OEM) stood ready to defend USS George Washington anytime, anywhere with the NATO Seasparrow Missile System and Close-In Weapon System. OEM Division operated and maintained four Close-In-Weapons Systems and three Nato Seasparrow Missile Systems which rely on the MK23 Target Acquisition System (TAS) radar for target assignment. The TAS radar is an air search radar that is directly interfaced with the Combat Direction Center to all three NATO missile systems. The primary mission of OEM was to defend the ship from air threats. As part of their resolve to be ready to accomplish this mission, OEM conducted daily system operability tests, forty Pre-Aim Calibration Firings and the highlight of the deployment, a live missile firing exercise conducted against a Tactical Air Launched Decoy in the Arabian Sea.
