History
editNoblis was originally known as Mitretek Systems. In 1996, Mitretek Systems was formed as a nonprofit corporation for the purpose of undertaking research in science and technology as a spin-off from the MITRE Corporation.[1]
Between 1996 and 2006, Mitretek Systems focused on national security threats, chemical and biological warfare, biometrics, electronic transactions, traffic congestion, patient safety, environmental sustainability, and renewed energy resources. Mitretek sponsored research projects included: analyzing and implementing technologies to keep information secure on the Internet, communicating voice and data by using Internet Protocol in the event of a national emergency, developing gaming technologies for first responders, and creating sick city scenarios to understand what could occur during a naturally occurring, or terrorist-instigated biological threat.
Mitretek Systems changed its name to Noblis in 2007.
In 2012, Noblis acquired Noblis ESI. The company previously operated under the name ElanTech Systems, Inc.[2]
May 3, 2021, Noblis acquired McKean Defense.[3][4] July 28, 2021, Noblis rebrands McKean Defense and its affiliates to Noblis MSD.[5][6]
