One or more ram accelerator devices may be used to form one or more holes in geologic or other material. These holes may be used for drilling, tunnel boring, excavation, and so forth. The ram accelerator devices propel projectiles which are accelerated by combustion of one or more combustible gasses in a ram effect to reach velocities exceeding 500 meters per second. 1. A system comprising:a control system to determine one or more firing parameters; a plurality of sensors configured to communicate with the control system;', 'a plurality of ventless sections separated by section separation mechanisms, wherein each of the sections is configured to contain one or more combustible gasses; and', 'a ventless boost mechanism coupled to the plurality of ventless sections, the ventless boost mechanism configured to impart an impulse on a projectile such that the projectile is accelerated to a ram-effect velocity within the plurality of sections., 'one or more ram accelerators configured based at least in part on the one or more firing parameters, each of the one or more ram accelerators comprising2. The system of claim 1 , wherein an end of the plurality of ventless sections is at least partially in contact with one or more of a geologic material or a fluid in a hole formed by impact of the projectile.3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a concrete delivery jacket coupled to the guide tube and configured to inject a liquid concrete mixture into a space between the concrete delivery jacket and walls of a hole formed by impact of the projectile.4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a positioning device affixed to at least a portion of at least one of the ventless sections claim 1 , the positioning device configured to direct a path of the hole by directing exit of the projectile.5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the projectile comprises an outer core covering at least a portion of an inner core claim 1 , further wherein the inner core comprises one or more ...
