PART A - OPERATION AND FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW OF THE G/VLLD
The  G/VLLD  set  provides  accurate  target  location  data  to  support
conventional ordnance delivery, and designates targets for laser-seeking
ordnance.
The G/VLLD locates target coordinates by measuring distance,
elevation, and azimuth to aim-point with respect to the G/VLLD for remote
non-laser-seeking ordnance;  and  designates stationary/moving  targets  for
laser-seeking ordnance.
1.
Description.
The G/VLLD set operates in the ground mode using a tripod mount; or in the
vehicular  mode  mounted  on  the  M113A1  personnel  carrier.
Figure  1-2
illustrates the G/VLLD set in the tripod mounted configuration.  Figure 1-3
illustrates the G/VLLD mounted on the M113A1 personnel carrier.
The  G/VLLD  separates  into  four  replaceable
major
units
and
two
minor
assemblies.  The four major units are:

Laser designator/rangefinder (LD/R).

Traversing unit (TU).

Tripod.

Battery.
The two minor assemblies are:

LD/R backpack with lens cleaning kit.

Tripod/TU backpack with spare battery.
The following paragraphs describe the major units and assemblies of the
G/VLLD.
a. Laser Designator/Rangefinder (see figure 1-4A).
The LD/R contains
the electronics and controls for the system.  It has a field of view of 3-4
degrees and a visual magnification power of 13X.  The ranging capabilities
of the G/VLLD are classified.  The LD/R mounts on the traversing unit.
b. Traversing  Unit  (see  figure  1-4B).
The  TU  provides  interface
between the LD/R and the tripod for ground mode operation, or with the
vehicle adapter assembly for vehicle mode operations.
It provides the
azimuth and elevation rotation for the LD/R and generates the azimuth and
elevation electrical data to the LD/R.
The TU measures the azimuth and
elevation with the following degrees of movement:
Azimuth
360€ (0 to 6399 MILS)
Elevation
LOS - up 25€ (0 to 444 MILS)
- down 22.5€ (0 to -400 MILS)
