I cannot believe there's any argument about this. There are literally thousands of references. Below, are links to the first few references that I found.
Note: you'll see that in the first link in item #5 the comment about the strategic nature of this information, that means don't expect to get how-to-do-it plans from the military but you can bet your house to a brick that the military is deeply involved in gravity detection (specifically because, like inertial navigation, it's silent and doesn't broadcast its presence).
Also note the dates, this stuff goes back to even before the 1970s, the technology is now very mature.
"Google only brings up gravity wave detectors."
See Google's patent in item #5.
