A tactical air navigation system, commonly referred to by the acronym TACAN, is a navigation system used by military aircraft.

Mr. Dodington, an engineer who held 50 patents, developed the system that directs planes to airports using radio beacons, technically known as tactical air navigation and distant measuring equipment.

In 1957 Hoffman Electronics became a leader in designing airborne navigation systems called TACAN or Tactical Air Navigation.

Electronic tactical air navigation (TACAN) became an absolute necessity in Laos, where mountain peaks and unexpected inclement weather made flying extremely hazardous, especially for older aircraft.

Most other functions transferred to Elmendorf, including a unit of C-123 transport aircraft, Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) operations, and all logistic support for auxiliary sites.
