The L3Harris IN602+ is a versatile TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) indicator designed to enhance situational awareness for pilots operating in complex environments. This rugged avionics component is engineered to provide clear, real-time navigation data, ensuring precise positioning during both air-to-air and air-to-ground operations.

Key Features and Capabilities
The IN602+ utilizes high-intensity dot-matrix LEDs and an integrated photocell to automatically adjust display brightness, optimizing visibility under varying lighting conditions. It supports simultaneous display of information for two stations, allowing pilots to monitor multiple sources concurrently. The device offers flexibility in navigation data presentation, including ground speed to station (up to 999 knots) or time to station (up to 99 minutes), which can be toggled via the page button. Additionally, the IN602+ can function as a tuning interface converter, accepting various tuning formats and translating them to RS-485 for input into compatible systems like the TRC2634. An "A/A" flag is displayed to indicate when the TACAN+ is operating in air-to-air mode, while the lower left quadrant shows bearing to or radial from the TACAN system, providing air-to-air bearing transmission in Beacon Mode.
Integration and Compatibility
Designed for seamless integration, the IN602+ is compatible with a wide range of navigation instrument displays from manufacturers such as Bendix King, Universal Avionics, Global Wulfsberg, Honeywell, and Mission Display Processor (MDP). This broad compatibility ensures that the IN602+ can be incorporated into various aircraft platforms, enhancing navigation capabilities without the need for extensive system overhauls. Whether used as a primary navigation aid or as part of a broader avionics suite, the IN602+ delivers reliable performance to support mission success.
