The GD/31 was originally
used as direction-finder vehicle in the "DAISY"-system. The concept was
based on high operational requirements, e.g. 100% mobile,
manual and automatic direction finding in the frequency
range 0.3 to 1300 MHz (control from a mission center),
search mode with optional suppression of selected
frequencies and operation at both spot frequencies and
through frequency bands, demodulation of AM, FM, SSB and
CW signals, high bearing accuracy (maximum error after
calibration 2° RMS), access by up to three operators and
protection against overvoltage (lightning).
DAISY consists of subsystems, each made up of three DF
vehicles with trailers, an escort vehicle, also with
trailer, and a mission center. The Danish Army initially
used the shown vehicle, but after a few years switched
over to all-terrain vehicles from MAN as a platform for the direction
finders.
