(GSA) contract.
OVERVIEW
TCN-500 (AN/ARN-153(V)) is the new technology airborne receiver-transmitter
(RT) component of the Tactical Airborne Navigation (TACAN) system that replaces
the ARN-118. TCN-500 and ARN-153 nomenclatures are often used interchangeably;
however AN/ARN-153(V) is a military nomenclature applicable to some but not
all TCN-500 RTs. The table of RTs below identifies RTs with military nomenclature
by listing the RT type number (e.g. RT-1625) and including the national stock
number (NSN) in parenthesis after the part number. To avoid misuse of the ARN-153
military nomenclature when describing an RT that has not been assigned military
nomenclature, TCN-500 will be used.
DESCRIPTION
Just like its predecessor, the TCN-500 RT measures the slant-range distance
and relative bearing to a selected ground station or an airborne beacon-TACAN,
and computes velocity and time-to-go to that station. Unlike its predecessor
a typical airborne system consists of four LRUs instead of five (5): an antenna,
a cockpit control (same as AN/ ARN-118 controls), the receiver-transmitter
(RT), and a mounting tray for the RT. The ARN- 118 D/A adapter function is
contained within the TCN-500 RT when desired. To assure a seamless transition from
the ARN-118 to the TCN-500, Rockwell Collins has carefully analyzed the current
installations of the ARN-118. Based on this analysis, Rockwell Collins has
identified those retrofit mounts required for the typical installations. These
mounts provide, not only a "no aircraft wiring impact/drop in replacement"
for the receiver transmitters noted, but also provide a basis for other "not
identified" retrofits with minimal NRE to our customers. (See "TCN-500
Retrofit Mounts" matrix). The TCN-500 has a flight inspection configuration (622-8149-022) is
available for ground station parametric measurement. It is totally self-contained,
and requires no additional external measuring equipment. For data collection,
a typical configuration would include a PC, ARINC 429 PC interface card, interconnect
cables and supporting application PC software. Rockwell Collins can supply
a kit that includes these items. A Selectable Analog Interface TACAN (SAITAC)
version of the TCN-500 (Part Number 622-8149-031) is available for installations that
need analog drivers, but that have equipment such as GPS or INS which does
not have analog drive capability. It can convert digital range, bearing, and
flag signals from the driving system to the analog format required to drive
HSI or BDHI instruments. The SAITAC eliminates the need for additional Digital
to Analog converter equipment. It provides weight, space and power savings,
while maintaining a simultaneous TACAN capability via the MIL-STD-1553B interface. The TCN-500 has been successfully installed in cargo, fighter, bomber,
trainer, and rotary wing aircraft for both the U.S. military services and
for militaries around the world. The TCN-500 has been especially popular for
aircraft avionics upgrade applications.

Test Equipment - 965T-1 Intermediate/Depot Test Set
Various options of test configurations are available depending upon
individual user requirements.
The 965T-1 Test Set, when combined with a minimal number of user-supplied
test equipment, is used for TCN-500 performance testing. The 965T-2 Test Set
is used with the 965T-1 for added capability. There are also "turn-key" test
stations available (TG-6046 Family) for those customers establishing Licensed
Assembly and/or Organizational through Depot levels of repair. The 965T-1 Test Set provides the means to control and monitor the operational
function of the TCN-500 TACAN system. The test set is designed to test the
following units as a system or independently: all of the receiver-transmitter
options listed in this catalog, any of the control options, and the 938Y-1
Antenna. The 938Y-1 electronically-rotated antenna is not normally used with
the TCN-500, but can be tested on the 965T-1 Test Set.
Key Features:
Program pins for calibration of RT are available from the
front panel. Internal 965T-1 power supplies provide primary power to the
unit under test from a single 115-V ac, 400-Hz source. A built-in 377J-3 TACAN control simulator permits user selection
of frequency, volume, and operating modes from the front panel. Two 965T-1 front panel displays provide digital readout of
the unit-under-test serial data. Addressing and control functions for the RT 1553 serial bus
are also available from the front panel. 965T-1 internal self-test by means of signal wraparound and
a built-in serial generator. Accessories Included with 965T-1 Test Set (622

Turnkey Test Stations
Rockwell Collins can provide a number of turnkey test stations for the
TCN-500 Tacan system that are tailored for Intermediate or Depot level maintenance.
These test stations are contained in a three bay (I-Level) or four bay (D-Level)
rack which contains all of the special and common test equipment required
for all the desired level of maintenance. In addition, test stations can be
customized for other applications such as license build programs to accommodate
various factory test processes.
The following Figures illustrate the typical configuration of these
test stations.
This test station is a four-bay station containing all the common and
special test equipment required for Depot and Intermediate Level testing of
the TCN-500 RT. Other test stations (TG-6046C, and TG-6046D are similar but
are configured with a subset or unique equipment complement for their individual
functions.
