TACCO Control

Part of: ASN-123C Tactical Navigation System

The AN/ASN-123C TACNAV was a sophisticated navigation system when first developed. It combines data from multiple sensors to help the crew determine the aircraft’s exact position and determine the location and tracking of other ships and submarines.

Overview
The TACCO Control Unit allows the Tactical Coordinator (TACCO) to manage and control how data from the TACNAV system is displayed. It’s the command interface — where the TACCO interacts with navigation, sensor, and mission data during operations.

Design & Function
The TACCO Control Unit includes a set of switch-indicators that combine:

  • Red illuminated labels (always on when the system is powered)
  • Green status indicators (triangle showing active selections or sensor alerts)
