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.

I could not find any reference that the DME part of TACAN is always available for civil use. (as stated in the TACAN article)
