Tactical Air Navigation
TACAN for fixed, deployable & naval platforms
Thales' TACAN ensures resilient, precise navigation for military pilots and aircraft, with robust solutions for airbases, mobile sites, man-portable operations, and naval vessels.
BENEFITS
-
Resilience
From landing to approach, Thales' TACAN capacities allow efficient Area Navigation (RNAV) even when GNSS is denied.
-
Survivability
TACAN, with the use of DME signal, increases the airspace flexibility without jeopardizing military navigation infrastructure.
-
Availability
Resilient navigation system capable to mitigate disruptions and keep availability of navigation data.
High stability and accuracy
Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) is a component crucial to military pilots in conducting their operations. TACAN, as a radio navigation aid, provides equipped aircraft with bearing and distance to a fixed base facility, temporary location, or naval vessel.
World's favorite TACAN
Thales’ new resilient TACAN line, ground, deployable, man-portable, naval, delivers advanced digitalisation, miniaturisation, and full compliance for a dual use.
Pilots gain safer, more flexible navigation and operators more maintenance through secure remote access.
This robust, dual-use solution lets user monitor and control TACAN systems easily, ensuring mission success and operational resilience.
