Scientific research

The Gradiometry is a principle method used inside measuring system. With an array of data received from hight-precision accelerometers, we build a Gravity map containing a three-dimensional field characterization.

This map contains information on gravitational anomalies originating from the interaction of individual physical objects e.g. metals, fluids, gas, etc.

Depending on the resolution of the map, it is possible to define the density and physical coordinates of the objects that generate such anomalies and may range from large space bodies to relatively small objects. Density composition of such objects differ from the rest of the environment in the survey area.

Measurement unit. A temperature-controlled system containing a group of high-precision MEMS accelerometers, ADC and temperature sensors.

Computing unit. Designed for data noise processing and interaction of peripheral sensors. Provides operation of external interface, memory modules and power system.

«GST-Simutool» is a software environment for modeling and simulation of gravimetric processes designed for creating three-dimensional gravitational maps, conducting virtual experiments and performing high-level processing of the data recieved from the «GST»-based devices.

The first project to use the «GST» technology is the Gravimetric navigation system — a hardware and software platform that is completely independent from satellites and antennas. It is designed for making, checking and correcting routes for various types of vehicles (air, water, underwater) and foot expeditions (including underground ones).

Navigation/route correction
For air, water, underwater vehicles

Navigation in extreme conditions
Routing underground and in arctic

Does not require radio or GPS signals. Gravity waves can not be jammed or distorted.

«GST» navigator can be used anywhere in the world, at any depth or altitude.

The system may be stationary (installed on large vehicles) or mobile (to use during foot expeditions).

An aircraft equipped with a gravity navigator flies along the route

Survey results are processed, tensor calculation is performed

Based on the tensor components and topographic data collected a gravity map of the area is created

Step 2. Data collection in the field

The foot group conducts a series of measurements using the mobile version of the gravity navigator

Calculation of tensor for measured points is performed

A tensor map of the area is created

Searching position of the local tensor map within the boundaries of the global map

Search results allow to determine the boundaries of the area on the global map as well as to locate the topographical coordinates for the most recent route point of foot expedition
