Anschütz GmbH

Anschütz GmbH, known as Raytheon Anschütz from 1995 to 2023, is a company that produces marine navigation systems and related instruments. It was originally formed as Anschütz & Company in 1905 in Kiel, Germany, in order to produce the first gyrocompass for large ships, which entered service in 1907. The company expanded to produce autopilots and new forms of compasses. The original company was broken up at the end of World War II.

The company reformed in 1952, expanding their autopilot line and introducing computerized systems in the 1970s and full modular bridge systems in 1995. The same year, the company was purchased by Raytheon who purchased several other European nautical companies and began to centralize manufacturing at Anschütz's Kiel factories. This included radar systems from Sweden's Standard Radio.

In 2023, German-based DMB Dr. Dieter Murmann Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH acquired Anschütz and the company was renamed to Anschütz GmbH. The company is a manufacturer and an integrator of navigation systems, bridge systems and mission systems for ships, including gyro compasses, steering gear control systems and autopilots, electronic chart display and information systems (ECDIS), radars, and electronic logbooks.
