State-of-the-art atom inertial sensors require improved control over noise and systematics to fully exploit the potential of large scale factors on ground and in space. We report on developments of the Very Long Baseline Atom Interferometry (VLBAI) facility. Stretching over 17 m, it features high-performance magnetic shielding and seismic attenuation as well as Rb & Yb sources. It will allow us to take on competition with superconducting gravimeters and to test the Universality of Free Fall at levels of parts in 10^13 and below. We will moreover report on matter-wave sensors in dynamic environments enhanced with opto-mechanical sensors and on fully geometries to discuss the prospects in inertial navigation and fundamental physics.
