Abstract. The report presents the progress of FSUE “VNIIFTRI” in several strategic areas of development of measuring instruments for geophysical autonomous navigation systems. It is shown that several developments of traditional mechanical sensors of the Earth’s gravitational and magnetic fields have high accuracy rates and reach the level of mass production. The main directions for the development of quantum navigation sensors have been identified, which have prospects for increasing the accuracy of navigation geophysical measurements by 1–3 orders of magnitude higher than that of traditional ones. Fundamentally new space-borne onboard gravimetric tools based on lasers and GNSS signals have been proposed and experimentally tested, which open up completely new possibilities for constructing navigational geophysical maps in remote territories and water areas. A new organizational proposal for the creation of a Center for Quantum Navigation Sensors at the VNIIFTRI has been presented.
Keywords: geophysical autonomous navigation systems, gravimeters, magnetometers, gradiometers, quantum meters, space gravimeters.
