This summer, the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy departed Seattle on a pivotal 2025 Arctic mission. Onboard is a team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), conducting advanced research in partnership with the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Gorilla Circuits is proud to provide the high-reliability printed circuit boards powering key systems that support this mission.

Next-Generation Science in the Harshest Conditions

The first phase of the mission involves deploying and servicing instruments for the Arctic Mobile Observing System (AMOS)—an ONR-led program focused on autonomous platforms that study sea ice dynamics and Arctic water circulation. The goal is to develop long-term, scalable monitoring systems capable of operating in ice-covered regions with minimal human intervention.

The second mission, under the NSF-backed Nansen and Amundsen Basins Observational System (NABOS), focuses on recovering, servicing, and redeploying subsurface mooring arrays to collect long-term oceanographic data beneath Arctic ice.

Both missions demand electronics that can operate under extreme cold, high pressure, and remote isolation—conditions where the performance and durability of Gorilla Circuits' PCBs are essential.

Manufactured in the U.S. for Mission-Critical Performance

All Gorilla Circuits boards are designed, fabricated, and assembled in-house at our San Jose, California facility. Full process control ensures fast lead times, tight quality standards, and robust reliability for mission-critical applications across aerospace, defense, and scientific research.

Gorilla Circuits expressed its honor in contributing to this landmark Arctic deployment and looks forward to supporting the ongoing success of WHOI's groundbreaking work.
