    TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) is a navigation system that provides aircraft with accurate range and bearing information. It can provide continuous range to 100 aircraft simultaneously and bearing information to an unlimited number. The TACAN signal is sent to and from a ground station to determine slant range using timing. TACAN equipment is required onboard aircraft but is expensive. It measures straight line distance unlike DME which measures height above ground when directly overhead a station. TACAN displays provide radial/bearing information to pilots.

    TACAN (TACTICAL AIR NAVIGATION System) Accurate within one degree Provides continuous range and bearing 100 aircraft can receive range at one time No limit of aircraft receiving bearing information Signal sent to ground station Signal sent back to airplane TACAN equipment required (pricey!)

    TACAN measures distance in slant range Slant range = straight-line-of-sight
