The Ground-Based Navigation team ensures that National Airspace System (NAS) ground-based navigation solutions are implemented in the most efficient and effective manner to meet operational needs. The team integrates the programs with regional and HQ organizations. GBN procures NavAids  to support systems currently and in the long term. 

The Very High Frequency (VHF) Omnidirectional Range Minimum Operational Network (VOR MON), and the Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) Minimum Operational Network (TACAN MON) initiatives repurpose existing navaids to support a resilient navigation infrastructure  NextGen Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) supports Performance Based Navigation (PBN) by providing a DME/DME area navigation (RNAV) capability in the event of a Global Positioning System (GPS) outage. 

The DME, VOR, TACAN (DVT) program will provide long term sustainment for DME, VOR and TACAN systems.
