Gyroscopy and Navigation Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The paper analyzes the development of strapdown inertial airborne gravimeters, which have significant advantages over gyrostabilized gravimeters in terms of size, power consumption and cost and substantially expand the capabilities of gravity survey. Technical solutions are described that make implementation of strapdown airborne gravimeters possible. The trends in their development are discussed, including integration of data from strapdown and gyrostabilized gravimeters.
