Our approach to digital transformation emphasizes continuous process improvement, strategic insertion of automation and designing awesome customer experiences. Noblis works closely with clients to identify the best approach to meet their needs and we collaborate to develop customized solutions. Our experts can help you see the “art of the possible” quickly and understand the cost and time savings that will result from digital transformation. Learn More >
MBSE is a key part of successful enterprise transformation and sustainment for FAA missions. MBSE provides a holistic, systematic approach for delivering capability sooner, at a reduced cost and with fewer schedule impacts that ensures quality while maintaining regulatory compliance. Digital engineering has become an important strategy in the defense and aviation domains for a faster, more efficient route to new platforms and systems. By constructing digital representations of a system that includes all the characteristics it would have as a physical entity, digital engineering saves much of the costs and time required to build and test physical prototypes.
Noblis has the MBSE expertise to help the FAA reduce risk by simulating complex systems and system-of-systems interactions through early visualization. We provide corporate training, mentoring and implementation strategies for digital engineering transformation. By applying data science, we can help address the difficulties in sharing, maintaining and re-using data with customized Authoritative Sources of Truth (ASoT) to meet our client’s unique needs.

Noblis uses both custom developed and commercially available tools to build, calibrate and validate models in support of FAA programs. By evaluating hundreds of simulation scenarios, we establish the benefits and impacts of air traffic operations as a result of introducing new capabilities alongside variances in the air traffic environment, such as convective weather, traffic management initiatives, high-volume, as well as future airport infrastructure and possible airspace designs.

Noblis partners with our FAA clients to build and deploy software solutions that enable and support the agency’s mission. We engage users throughout our software design, development and implementation process to ensure the solution meets the need and delivers positive user experiences (UX). Our teams of certified agile software professionals apply standardized processes with DevOps and agile management tools to effectively manage projects at scale and deliver results. Learn More >
Noblis is a leader in System Engineering and Integration (SE&I). We partner with the FAA to organize, define and integrate new capabilities into the National Airspace System (NAS). We collaborate with our clients to deploy innovative technologies that satisfy their requirements while sustaining legacy systems that are critical to operations. We use computer-aided design tools and methods like Model-Based Systems Engineering to develop system models and simulations, showing how systems should work and the benefits and costs of implementation quickly and accurately.
Noblis is appraised at Level 3 of the CMMI Institute’s Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)

Delivering Full Spectrum Expertise for Aviation Enterprise Infrastructure and Services
Noblis is the Prime contractor of the Enterprise Programs, Infrastructure, and Communications Services (EPICS) contract, which helps Data Communications and programs within the Communications, Information and Network Programs Group (CINP) to accomplish their mission objectives. The contract provides a broad range of System Engineering; Acquisition and Program Management Support; In-Service Management and Support; Business and Financial Management; Information Systems Development and Support; Studies, Analyses, and Evaluations; and other services required by the CINP. The contract is expected to serve as the primary means for CINP to obtain required technical services.
Partnering with the FAA to Modernize Our Nation’s Airspace
The United States operates the largest, most complex, and safest aerospace system in the world. This system manages over 30 million square miles of airspace and supports over 70,000 flights and two million passengers every day. Noblis is partnering with the FAA to improve the safety, efficiency, and environmental footprint of today’s system, while also ensuring the successful transition to the Next Generation Air Transportation System through transformational programs such as Data Communications, System Wide Information Management, Terminal Flight Data Manager, FAA Enterprise Network Services, and the VoICE Communication System.
Engaging Stakeholders to Ensure Program Success
Noblis combines people, process, and technology to engage a wide array of internal and external stakeholders with program planning, execution, and implementation. Our experts engage operational personnel and organizations in the development of the models and simulations used to extend today’s operations toward a vision for the future. Aircraft which are primarily consumers of air traffic services today are key enablers of the NextGen capabilities of tomorrow. Noblis’ focus on the development of system of systems capabilities includes facilitating the critical coordination, collaboration, and cooperation across multiple constituencies (e.g., program offices, development vendors, and operational users) to ensure programmatic and operational success.
Engineering Advanced Data Solutions Across Air, Space, Land and Sea
Client Missions we Proudly Serve — for the best of reasons
Noblis engineers develop advanced network and data solutions across Air, Space, Land and Sea for multiple critical agency missions. We work with our clients on priority communication strategies to ensure first responders can communicate during emergency situations and that our Federal Highway system is using automation and control systems to ensure safe roadways. We engineer solutions to ensure weather information is provided on time to the FAA from NOAA’s space satellites, and that the Naval fleet is securely transmitting data and providing predictive maintenance alerts on critical systems. For the FAA we are ensuring all layers of the network are performing at scale to carry the data to ensure a safe airspace, whether it be via FTI/FENS, DataComm, TFDM or SWIM.
