This division is set to focus on integrating comprehensive safety, security, and operational readiness solutions tailored for both public and private sector organizations around the globe.
NOBLE IQ™ stems from the company’s legacy as KD Analytical Consulting LLC, which has a well-established reputation for providing end-to-end training, support, and technical services that cater to public safety agencies, military operations, and private enterprises. The new branding symbolizes an evolution while maintaining the core mission of delivering effective safety solutions.
The division is committed to addressing critical areas of national security with expert solutions in fields such as chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) detection systems, alongside various other high-demand security technologies. The guiding principle of NOBLE IQ™, which involves Evaluation, Implementation, Training, and Sustainment, reflects its holistic approach to ensuring that customers receive a full lifecycle of services designed for operational effectiveness.
Leadership and Expertise
Steering NOBLE IQ™ is Executive Vice President Jon Terpening, who leads a robust team characterized by extensive expertise across various industries, particularly in CBRNE, HazMat management, safety and security, and the Department of Defense (DoD). Terpening emphasized the operational foundation that ensures the provided solutions are both practical and aligned with mission goals.
"Our role is crucial in supporting government sectors and critical infrastructure by supplying advanced technological capabilities, including CBRNE sensors and AI/ML-enabled analytics, complemented by real-time data services," stated Terpening, highlighting the organization’s readiness to tackle evolving security challenges.
Service Offerings
NOBLE IQ™ aims to deliver four core service areas to ensure comprehensive support for its clients:
Evaluation Services
NOBLE IQ™'s Evaluation Services are centered on helping organizations grasp potential threats and validate operational capabilities. These dynamic assessments are supported by a partnership with the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven. Clients can expect exhaustive evaluations covering existing technologies, response readiness, and threats that can impact operational efficacy. This phase lays the groundwork for informed decision-making before any deployment occurs.
Implementation Services
To convert validated technology into actionable solutions, NOBLE IQ™ offers Implementation Services. Building on its expertise, the division assists with the selection, procurement, and deployment of systems, ensuring that each installation is fully operational from the outset. This integration guarantees that all systems meet required performance standards and operational readiness, positioning clients to respond effectively from day one.

Training is crucial in the realm of public safety and national security. NOBLE IQ™ has designed over 100 specialized training courses aimed at equipping personnel with the necessary skills to operate advanced equipment and execute procedures tactically and effectively. Grounded in real-world scenarios and led by instructors with extensive operational backgrounds, these courses promise to deliver hands-on experience, preparing responders and security professionals for real-time applications.
Sustainment Services
To ensure reliability throughout the lifecycle of critical equipment, NOBLE IQ™ offers comprehensive Sustainment Services. Utilizing its cloud-based maintenance management platform, ReadiTrak®, clients can efficiently monitor their assets, manage schedules for maintenance, and ensure full lifecycle visibility. This proactive maintenance approach includes calibration, repairs, and ongoing technical support to facilitate continuous operational readiness.
