Gravity survey near the bottom can be continuously carried out in underwater mobile gravimetry, such as using autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV)to allow the surface mother ship to perform multiple tasks Simultaneously,and thus reducing the high cost and access threshold of underwater gravity survey. In this paper,the basic principles and methods of underwater mobile gravimetry are studied,the underwater mobile gravimetry model and the corresponding error model are established,and the error sources of sensor,attitude,position and velocity of Strapdown gravimeter are analyzed emphatically. The feasibility of reaching 1 mgal measurement accuracy and the performance requirements of underwater positioning equipment are discussed. The calculation shows that on the premise that the gravity sensor and the Strapdown gravimeter are consistent,the positioning accuracy of the underwater acoustic positioning system can reach 0.5% of the measured slant distance,the sounding accuracy of the water pressure depth meter can reach 5 cm,and the velocity accuracy of the Doppler log can reach 0.1 m/s,which can ensure that the underwater mobile gravimetry meets the accuracy requirements.
