The outer and middle markers can be replaced
by a DME. The DME responder is more expensive
than a marker, but it does not need separate
locations with the associated costs. The DME
is usually situated together with the glide
path equipment.

Looks like you need DME to identify the FAF if you're flying LOC
only. You wouldn't need it if you have the glideslope needle. (The
name could just as well be "LOC/DME or ILS RWY 16R".) Also, it's 1 nm
legs in the holding pattern for course reversal and missed approach.
