Abstract
TACAN is the latest form of rho-theta navigation system for aircraft and embodies certain novel features. The system characteristics are briefly described and a short history of its beginning and development are given. Basic principles of operation are followed by a description of the apparatus required, and the advantages of the system for bad site operation is discussed. Additional facilities are described, such as data link and approach aid integrated with TACAN, and a summary of the system advantages is given.
