TACtical Air Navigation, or TACAN, is a navigation system used by military aircraft. It provides the user with a distance and bearing from a ground station. It is a more accurate version of the VOR system for civil aviation. At VORTAC facilities, the DME portion of the TACAN system is available for civil use.
