Аннотация:Strapdown airborne gravimeters based on a navigation-grade inertial measurement unit (IMU) are highly sensitive to perturbations during aircraft flight, especially in the case of flights in draped mode (at a constant altitude above the terrain) or drone-based flights. This implies the crucial importance of postprocessing, including determination of the IMU and GNSS navigation solutions, IMU/GNSS integration, and gravity estimation. In the paper, we briefly outline the key aspects of the developed postprocessing methodology. By processing raw data from two surveys (one is based on a small aircraft and the other on a drone), we investigate the best achievable spatial resolution of strapdown airborne gravimetry. We show that high-accuracy gravity estimates (at sub-mGal level) at a half-wavelength spatial resolution of 1 km can be obtained in the considered surveys.
