About Anschütz

The Anschütz company was founded in 1905 by Dr. Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe after he invented the gyro compass for ships. Supported by Albert Einstein, Anschütz continued to develop the gyro compass over the years until 1925 when production of the well-known two-gyro compass began.

Over the decades, Anschütz was able to revolutionize shipping with numerous innovations, including the so-called iron helmsman, the chart plotter, the track control system and the first integrated navigation system with type approval.

Anschütz has belonged to Raytheon Company since 1995, later Raytheon Technologies. During this time, Anschütz expanded the product range to include radar systems and electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS), and developed into an integrator of customer-specific, sophisticated bridge systems and mission systems (command & control systems, situational awareness systems).

Today, around 30,000 ships are equipped with Anschütz products and are supported by the Anschütz Group and a global network of certified sales and service partners.

The product range includes:

• Integrated navigation and bridge systems (INS/IBS/INBS)

• Gyro compasses, maintenance-free gyro compasses, and repeaters

• Autopilots and track control systems, manual steering gear control systems

• Electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS, Warship ECDIS)

• Radars for navigation and surveillance, radar applications, naval radars

• Electronic logbooks (e.g. deck logbook, bellbook, engine logbook, oil record I, garbage record book I, tanks, harbor towage book)

• Command & control systems, mission systems (e.g. mine countermeasures)

• Internal and external communication systems, tactical data links

• Submarine systems (e.g. 3D steering control, battery monitoring, automation)

• Marine inertial navigation systems

• Spare parts (e.g. delivery of reconditioned gyro spheres for gyro compasses over decades)
