In the following paper we propose a new and novel "SYSTEM" for making hyperfine airborne gravity-gradiometry measurements. The "SYSTEM" consists of both a "PROCESS", and several possible "DEVICES" for carrying out the proposed process. The method involves making high-resolution measurements of the gravitational redshift of photons while the measuring instrument is put into momentary freefall. The idea is revolutionary because it could theoretically eliminate all of the external accelerations that normally arise in such surveys, including those from the aircraft itself. These external accelerations are completely indistinguishable from a superimposed g-field, and are thus the limiting factors to the survey resolution in current airborne gravity exploration. The method can thus potentially give gravitational gradient resolutions several orders of magnitude better than what has been possible up to now.
