Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine offers a range of marine navigation products and solutions including digital services, marine radars, gyrocompasses, speed logs, steering systems, autopilots, and integrated bridge systems. Sperry Marine is one of the oldest manufacturers of  gyrocompasses. Its founder, Elmer Ambrose Sperry, was working on the first prototype of the gyrocompass at the same time as Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe was developing his. Eventually, the rivalry between these two inventors over the gyrocompass went to court, where Albert Einstein was included as an unambiguous expert. Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine currently operates in over 15 countries and employs over 500 people. The Sperry Marine Manual Ship Steering System and Autopilot uses ship steering control network technology to control a ship. The NAVIGUIDE 4000 Manual Steering System has multiple configurations to meet specific customer requirements. The ship steering system  is fully type-approved by Germanischer Lloyd. The NAVIPILOT 4000 is capable of tuning itself to adapt automatically to the ship’s load characteristics and weather conditions for safety and fuel savings. The VisionMaster FT series of Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine provides Navigation Radar, Chart Radar, and Multi-Function Workstation. It includes both radar and ECDIS units.
