This report describes the results of a hardware design study for an airborne gravity measurement system. The system is intended for use aboard a fixed wing aircraft for measurements over oceanic areas including ice caps. Hardware for measurement of total vertical acceleration including gravity, aircraft vertical acceleration, and precise positioning is discussed; and example equipment types are specified. A data acquisition system capable of handling all measurements sources is also specified. Various aircraft operational requirements and parameters are considered.
