- An electronic navigation system, operating in the ultrahigh frequency (UHF) range. The name TACAN is an acronym for TACtical Air Navigation. TACAN is used by military aircraft to give the pilot both the distance and direction from the transmitting stations on the ground. Civilian aircraft have equipment that use the TACAN ground facilities to show the distance to the navigational fix. The equipment used in civilian aircraft is called DME (Distance Measuring Equipment).
