Navigational Beacons: AN/FRN-45 TACAN

Designed in the 80's for service well into the 21st century, the Target Corporation AN/FRN-45 TACAN is the perfect marriage of sophisticated navigational electronics and computer age data processing techniques. This latest generation of NAVAIDS gives the user troublefree, all channel, all solid state TACAN system that can virtually troubleshoot itself. A standard display terminal provides both graphic and verbal indications and instructions to the operator allowing quick and easy troubleshooting and repair.

The Target Corporation TACAN navigational system is a highly reliable easily maintained, rugged, modular, solid state equipment which is truly the latest in TACAN ground beacons. Designed for the United States Air Force, the Target Corporation TACAN is a culmination of Target Corporation's years of experience in designing and manufacturing sophisticated all solid state navigation aids with remote maintenance monitoring capability.
