Difference between Tactical air navigation system and VORTAC

Tactical air navigation system vs. VORTAC

A tactical air navigation system, commonly referred to by the acronym TACAN, is a navigation system used by military aircraft. A VORTAC is a navigational aid for aircraft pilots consisting of a co-located VHF omnidirectional range (VOR) beacon and a tactical air navigation system (TACAN) beacon.

Similarities between Tactical air navigation system and VORTAC

Tactical air navigation system and VORTAC have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Azimuth, Distance measuring equipment, VHF omnidirectional range.

Azimuth

An azimuth (from the pl. form of the Arabic noun "السَّمْت" as-samt, meaning "the direction") is an angular measurement in a spherical coordinate system.

Distance measuring equipment

Distance measuring equipment (DME) is a transponder-based radio navigation technology that measures slant range distance by timing the propagation delay of VHF or UHF radio signals.

VHF omnidirectional range

Very High Frequency (VHF) Omni-Directional Range (VOR) is a type of short-range radio navigation system for aircraft, enabling aircraft with a receiving unit to determine their position and stay on course by receiving radio signals transmitted by a network of fixed ground radio beacons.
