TACAN provides azimuth information to military aircraft and slant range information to military and civilian aircraft. We offer fixed-based, shipboard, and man-portable TACANs that all include redundant power supply to maximize availability and performance.

Indra’s high-performing, high-reliability TACAN is designed with the highest degree of commonality with the Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) of choice for the FAA. Indra’s TACAN includes GaN technology for a fully modern TACAN with the most efficient, fully redundant Power Amplification in the world to maximize availability and performance. The Indra TACAN was flight certified in 2022.

The Indra Man-Portable TACAN provides a lightweight capability to rapidly deploy, operate, sustain, and support aviation assets in remote areas in all environments and weather conditions. It is a small, lightweight, ruggedized version of the Indra Fixed-Based TACAN, designed to be used in harsh environments and can easily be carried by two persons. It is used to provide full navigation services at otherwise unequipped airfields, for improvised airfields, or to restore airfield services after natural disaster, mishap, or attack. 

The Indra Shipboard TACAN is the world’s most technologically advanced, full service TACAN beacon available today, providing the ability to outfit commercial and military vessels with navigation aid coverage to support aviation assets.
