Aligner 308
Ship Alignment System
General
The Aligner 308 is designed for static alignment of shipboard weapon systems. It enables alignment with the ship afloat, simpler, faster and, yet afloat, more accurate than conventional dry-dock alignment.
Imposing minimal influence on the ship's routines, the Aligner 308 implies huge savings in time and operational costs compared to using traditional methods.
Versatility...
Every type of station or structure aboard can be aligned using Aligner 308. Mechanical adapters for firm attachment of the Tilt Sensors to the different weapon stations are used to ensure best possible results.

...and accuracy
Gyros are aligned by connecting them electrically. Thus, the same signals as used by the weapon stations are used for aligning the gyros. Simpler, faster and more accurate than traditional methods.
