The Ice Drilling Design and Operations (IDDO), led by Charles Bentley at UW, provides engineering design support for new drilling systems as well as the operation and maintenance of existing drill systems now under the purview of IDDO at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Science and Engineering Center (UW-SSEC). Once a year the IDDO updates the Long Range Drilling Technology Plan, which provides an overview of the multifaceted system of drills and technology needed to advance the science that is outlined in the IDPO Long Range Science Plan.
Many of the staff and familiar engineers and drillers who worked with the ICDS group under the previous NSF contract to UW now provide the support for IDDO, with IDPO oversight. In addition, in order to have the best available advice in regard to drill innovation, design, and operation, IDDO has established a Technical Advisory Board of experts who meet regularly and are available for occasional specific technical tasks.
