Abstract
A new gravity‐measuring system is capable of resolving gravitational acceleration with a sensitivity sufficient to distinguish the effect of one‐foot vertical displacement on the earth's surface (0.1 milligal). Developed by Textron's Bell Aerosystems Company, the Motion Stabilized Gravity Measuring System (BGM‐2) is built around a standard accelerometer and coupled with a small Varian computer (620/i) that separates wave motion from the changes in gravity while permitting simultaneous collection of other data. The computer integrates the following inputs into a common data storage block: the reduced gravity readings, magnetometer readings, depth soundings, navigational information, and pulse rates from a crystal oscillator.
