INTRODUCTION
The G/VLLD set operates in the field to determine the position of an
enemy target and/or to illuminate a target for destruction by laser-
seeking ordnance. When used with the AN/TAS-4 or AN/TAS-4B night sight,
the G/VLLD operates with 24-hour effectiveness. The G/VLLD operates in
the ground mode, or in the vehicular mode mounted on the M113A1 personnel
carrier.
This lesson identifies the controls of the G/VLLD and describes their
functions to assist you in using the system.
It also describes the
The G/VLLD is a category C laser designator, with the capability of
operating as a category A or B designator. Figure 1-1 lists the warnings
and safety disciplines you must follow for safe operation of any laser-
generating device.
