USAF will soon request industry proposals for a lightweight Tacan navigation station that is to weight no more than 105 lb., including self-contained battery power, so it can be air-dropped and quickly deployed for tactical operations. It is to provide standard Tacan bearing and distance information, must be housed in 3 containers, each of which weighs no more than 35 lb., so 3 men can man-pack the station from the recovery zone to the operating site. This weight figure is only 1/10 that of USAF'- present small transportable AN/TRN-26 Tacan station, which in turn weighs only 1/10th as much as the original AN/URN-3 Tacan ground station developed in the 1950s.
