2016年至2020年，美国冰钻项目为美国国家科学基金会开发并测试了快速空气运动（RAM）钻机的重大升级。该系统的设计利用了RAM Drill的现有基础设施，目的是大大减少部署钻头的后勤负担，同时保持在40分钟或更短的时间内钻出100米的冰和冰的通道孔的能力。本文介绍了该钻头的特点，以及在格陵兰Raven营地和南极洲WAIS Divide营地进行测试时的钻头性能。
Abstract Significant upgrades to the Rapid Air Movement (RAM) Drill were developed and tested by the US Ice Drilling Program in 2016 through 2020 for the U.S. National Science Foundation. The design of the system leverages the existing infrastructure of the RAM Drill with the goal of greatly reducing the logistical burden of deploying the drill while maintaining the ability to drill an access hole in firn and ice to 100 m in 40 min or less. In this paper, characteristics of the drill are described, along with a description of the drill performance during the testing at Raven Camp in Greenland and at WAIS Divide Camp in Antarctica.
