CURRENT PROBLEMS AND FUTURE TRENDS OF GEODETIC AND NAVIGATIONAL SUPPORT OF GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS

Abstract

The article overviews the current state and problems of geodetic, navigational and timing maintenance of geological and geophysical survey. Innovation trends and perspectives of the technologies’ modernization are considered. The main problems of geodetic, navigational and timing maintenance considered in the article are: old normative and technical documents on this kind of works in Russia, coordinate systems transformations problems, necessity of GNSS-devices adaptation for the specific conditions of geology/geophysics. The main ways of modernization of geodetic, navigational and timing maintenance considered in the paper are: adding newest GNSS technologies (PPP/RTPPP method; new GNSS as Galileo and BeiDou; special services etc.); adding INS/GNSS devices; machine vision systems; remote sensing technologies including UAVs and lidar measurements. The examples of the first steps of using this technologies and methods are given. The main conclusion about the importance of the creation of the common technical documentation base was made.
