Suitable radar systems operating in the VHF band can determine the bottom topography of an ice sheet, provide information about bottom sediments, and indicate layering within the ice sheets. This information is an indication of ice sheet history and potential slippage zones. This award will support the completion of modern ice depth-sounding radar system for use by glaciologists in Antarctica. During the term of this award, modification and testing of the radar for use on the C-130 and smaller aircraft will be completed, and system soft ware will be developed.

在甚高频波段工作的合适雷达系统可以确定冰盖的底部地形，提供有关底部沉积物的信息，并指示冰盖内的分层。这一信息是冰盖历史和潜在滑移区的指示。这项奖励将支持完成现代冰深度探测雷达系统，供南极洲冰川学家使用。在该合同期限内，将完成C-130及小型飞机上使用的雷达的改装和测试，并将开发系统软件。
