Default ILS vs. ILS Z approaches at VPS

Checked out the approach plates on http://www.airnav.com

Looks like the ILS Z requires a TACAN (not VOR) receiver and does an arc to the localizer. The "regular" ILS is more of a straight shot from a nearby VOR, intercepting the same localizer. They may need both in case one procedure is blocked by a hot restricted area.
