  • Abstract
    An unmanned autonomous system, designed ultimately for air deployment, has been developed for drilling holes In the Arctic Ice. The system is intended to facilitate the collection of oceanographic date in inaccessible regions of the Arctic as part of the Air Deployed Oceanographic Mooring (ADOM) program. This paper describes the design of the drill, the microcomputer control system, and the results of initial field testing.
