It is noted that the Shuttle navigation system employs redundant tactical air navigation (tacan) and microwave scanning beam landing system (MSBLS) equipment for use in navigation during descent from altitudes of about 150,000 feet through rollout. Attention is given here to the multiple tacan and MSBLS units (three each) that were placed onboard to provide the necessary protection in the event of possible failures. The goals, features, approach, and performance of onboard software required to manage multiple tacan MSBLS units and to provide the corresponding data for navigation processing are described.
