A Comparison Between the AN/ARN-84 (V) and the AN/ARN-118 (V) TACANS, Based on the Life Cycle Cost.

Abstract

TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) equipments are being procured for the Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force. The life-cycle costs and performance characteristics of different models of these equipments vary greatly. The two equipments currently being procured are the AN/ARN-84(V), for the Navy and Coast Guard, and the AN/ARN-118(V) for the Air Force. This report is a cost analysis based on the life cycles of these two equipments. It provides data intended to aid NAVAIR and OPNAV in making future procurements cost effective and responsive to both peacetime and war time TACAN requirements. (Author)
