Theater Air Control System

Theater Air Control System (TACS) is a military network that manages and directs aircraft operations within a specified area, known as a theater. It integrates radar, communication, and command centers to monitor aircraft movements, coordinate missions, and ensure effective use of airpower. TACS provides commanders with real-time situational awareness and guides aircraft to their targets or objectives, enhancing safety and operational efficiency. Overall, it acts as the nerve center for controlling and synchronizing air operations during military campaigns.
