Abstract

TAGS-6 represents the lastest development in a long line of Lacoste-based airbone gravity systems, stretching back to the first successful airborne gravity flights in 1958. TAGS-6 is an upgrade to the TAGS/Air III gravity meter, and is designed specifically for geoid mapping, geophysical survey, oil and mineral exploration. Currently, Vietnam is one of the 4 countries, including Sweden, India, Vietnam and South Africa, owning this modern technology. During the period from 20th March to 2nd April 2014, Vietnam Institute of Geodesy and Cartography (VIGAC) received the technology transfer and conducted test flights using TAGS-6 technology under the direction of Mr. John Seibert, an expert from the company Micro-g Lacoste - Scintrex Ltd. After the technology transfer program, VIGAC have gradually mastered this modern techonogly as well as steps for processing airborne gravity data, thereby giving appropriate steps, serving for the development of geodesy and cartography sectors in the next period.
