Schill is pleased to announce the release of the CIU Mk 2, an advanced version of our Camera Interface Unit, meticulously engineered to complement the Aligner 221 and 231 systems. These systems are integral to the precise alignment of weaponry, ensuring optimal performance in critical operations.
Aligner 221 and 231: Precision in Weapon Alignment
The Aligner 221 is a single-channel standalone system designed for dynamic alignment of shipboard weapon systems. It offers interfaces for the ship’s tracker camera, enabling comprehensive alignment tests of both trackers and weapon stations. This system is renowned for its accuracy, user-friendly interface, and robust functionality.
Similarly, the Aligner 231 is a single-channel gun camera system utilized for misalignment evaluation. Comprising a gun camera, adapter, and interface unit, it facilitates quick and effective benchmark tests. The system’s design allows for installation within seconds, with the gun camera self-aligning to the bore, eliminating the need for further adjustments.
Introducing the CIU Mk 2: Embracing Modern USB-C Technology
The newly developed CIU Mk 2 integrates the latest USB-C technology, offering unparalleled flexibility in power options. Users can now operate the camera system using a laptop battery, a standard wall outlet, or an external power bank. This advancement empowers operators to conduct weapon alignment procedures in off-grid scenarios, significantly enhancing the system’s versatility and adaptability.
Empowering Operations in Remote Environments
With the CIU Mk 2, the Aligner 221 and 231 systems become even more adaptable to challenging environments. Whether deployed in dense forests, open seas, or areas lacking established power infrastructure, operators can rely on the system’s consistent performance. This off-grid capability ensures that precise weapon alignment is achievable wherever the mission demands, reinforcing the system’s reputation for reliability and effectiveness.
The CIU Mk 2 is now available through Schill’s official distribution channels.
