Schill

​Schill is a global leader in combat system alignment, specializing in both static and dynamic alignment solutions primarily for naval platforms. With clients in over 30 countries, Schill offers state-of-the-art products and services designed to optimize weapon and sensor system performance. ​

Schill’s expertise lies in ensuring that all components of a ship’s combat system—from sensors and gyros to effectors—are precisely aligned for optimal performance. This alignment is crucial for the accuracy and effectiveness of weapon systems, especially in high-stakes maritime environments. ​

Schill provides comprehensive alignment services categorized into two main procedures:​

Static Alignment: This process involves mechanically aligning all weapon stations, including the ship’s gyro, using consistent references. Traditionally performed in dry docks, Schill’s innovative methods allow for static alignment while the ship is afloat, offering greater accuracy and efficiency. ​

Dynamic Alignment: Conducted during sea trials or as part of routine operations, dynamic alignment verifies system status under standard operating conditions. Schill’s advanced optical tracking and evaluation systems facilitate precise dynamic alignment, ensuring weapon systems perform reliably in real-world scenarios. ​
