The present invention provides a system for aligning drive towers within an irrigation system. According to a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes a system and method for cascading alignment of independent drive systems. According to a preferred embodiment, a preferred method may include the steps of: transmitting controller timing data to the first intermediate drive tower and the second intermediate drive tower； assigning a first correction time slot to the second intermediate drive tower； assigning a second correction time slot to the first intermediate drive tower； receiving first alignment data by the second intermediate drive tower； receiving second alignment data by the first intermediate drive tower； performing a first alignment correction based on the first alignment data received by the second intermediate drive tower； and performing a second alignment correction based on the second alignment data received by the first intermediate drive tower.
