AN / ASB - 19 The Hughes AN / ASB - 19 Angle Rate Bombing System ( ARBS ) is an avionics system originally designed for US Marine Corps attack aircraft to improve day and night bombing accuracy when operating in the close support role using unguided weapons . Externally or nose mounted , " ARBS " is a target designator which weighs less than 63 kg ( 140 lb ) and includes an automatic scan laser and a pilot - controlled tracking television , both using a common optical system . Operations . A pilot used the ARBS to identify ground targets on a TV display , then locks on the TV tracker . For laser - designated targets the tracker scans ahead of the aircraft and automatically locks on to the designated target , which can be illuminated by a ground - based or airborne laser . In daytime the pilot can opt at any time to switch from laser to TV tracking . The pilot then followed the steering instructions presented in the Head - up display or optical sight and when the computer detected an acceptable combination of dive angle and tracker angle rate the ordnance was released automatically . The system was used on the USMC A - 4M Skyhawk & AV - 8B Harrier II , the Spanish Navy AV - 8B Harrier II , and during the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia by Royal Air Force Harrier GR7 s .

Battle of Lauffeld The Battle of Lauffeld , also known as Lafelt , Laffeld , Lawfeld , Lawfeldt , Maastricht or Val , took place on 2 July 1747 , during the French invasion of the Netherlands . It was part of the War of the Austrian Succession . Marshal Saxe led the French forces against the Pragmatic Army , the combined forces of the British and Hanoverians under the banner of the Duke of Cumberland , and the Dutch Republic , fighting under the Prince of Orange , at Lauffeld ( or Lafelt , now part of Riemst ) , just west of Maastricht . Cumberland moved to defeat a detachment of the French army commanded by the Prince of Clermont that de Saxe had sent to bait the Pragmatic Allies into moving . Then Saxe force - marched the main French force to the ground he had chosen , thus outmaneuvering them . The battle . Cumberland now not only faced the entire French army , but further compromised his chances of success by ignoring General John Ligonier ' s advice to occupy and fortify a line of villages across the front of the allied army . Once again , as at the Battle of Rocoux , the Austrians on the right refused to move against the open French left flank . The French made five assaults on Lauffeld and the villages changed hands several times , until Saxe gained the upper hand . A large French column drove the 10 , 000 British and Hessian defenders out of the village of Lauffeld a final time . Cumberland reorganized the Dutch and British for a counter - attack ; however , the Dutch cavalry was broken by the charge of the French Carabiniers and fled from the French cavalry , throwing the infantry behind them into disorder . The French cavalry then pierced the allied center . Now , a general French advance began to turn the Allied left flank , threatening the annihilation of the British infantry . General Ligonier , on his own initiative , then led the cavalry in charges that would save the army . The greatest cavalry engagement of the war ensued with over 15 , 000 horsemen charging and counter - charging . Ligonier was captured along with four standards while covering the retreat of the Allies with a final charge . Aftermath . It was a French victory that left the gateway to the Dutch Republic open to invasion and the Dutch at the mercy of the French . The allied retreat allowed Saxe to send a detachment of 30 , 000 troops under Count Lowendahl north across the Low Lands , capturing the city of Bergen - op - Zoom to finish that year ' s campaigning season . At the opening of the spring campaigning season of 1748 , the French invested Maastricht and , after a brief siege , the city fell on 7 May . The city ' s siege started negotiations in April , ending the war in October 1748 with the Treaty of Aix - la - Chapelle . Maurice de Saxe ' s long series of victorious campaigns , sieges , and battles in the Low Lands ensured France ' s position as the dominant land power in the peace negotiations , during which the sound of Saxe ' s siege guns could be heard pounding away at the city of Maastricht .
