What is TACAN?
AN/URN-25, a navigational aid between ship and aircraft for assisting aircraft in obtaining range and bearing. Effective Range is 200NM.
What are some common issues with TACAN?
Hard failures are indicated by the red or white alarm indicators on the front panel of the receiver-transmitter. Hard failure causes an automatic switch to standby operation mode 10 to 12 seconds after detected. Soft failure are those indicated by the amber alarm. Although a soft failure will not directly affect the selected operating mode of the equipment, more then one soft fail at the same time will result in automatic system standby.
What is the location of the TACAN?
Antenna is all the atop the mast and transponder is TACAN/AIR NAV 05-170-1-C & Remote control in AIROPS.
Impact if loss of TACAN?
Aircrafts and Helos will not receive accurate ships location data.
What is DAIR?
AN/TPX-42, Direct Altitude and Identity Readout (DAIR) provides CATCC with the capability to positively control aircraft during launch and recovery.
