The military uses a slightly different system as the civilian version. The military uses something named '''[[TACAN]]''' that operates in the frequency band 960-1215 MHz overlapping the VOR frequency range. It combines a VOR-DME and includes an azimuth feature that provides more accurate navigation. | The military uses a slightly different system as the civilian version.
