Tom Noble, CEO of Noble Supply and Logistics, LLC, has announced the launch of NOBLE IQ, a new division created to deliver integrated safety, security, and operational readiness solutions to public- and private-sector organizations around the world. This strategic expansion marks a significant step in Noble’s mission to support national security, emergency response, and critical infrastructure protection with practical, mission-ready capabilities.
Formerly operating as KD Analytical Consulting LLC, NOBLE IQ builds on a well-established foundation of end-to-end training, sustainment, and technical services. While the division introduces a new name and brand identity, its experienced team and operations center in Lexington, Kentucky remain unchanged. As a result, customers continue to benefit from the same trusted professionals who have long delivered dependable, field-tested solutions.
NOBLE IQ focuses on advanced technical solutions, including chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) equipment, weapons detection technologies, and a broad range of safety and security systems. Moreover, the division’s guiding philosophy Evaluate, Implement, Train, and Sustain defines a full life-cycle approach that ensures capabilities move from concept to deployment and long-term operational success.

Jon Terpening, Executive Vice President of NOBLE IQ, leads the division alongside a multidisciplinary team of scientists, instructors, program managers, and solutions experts. Collectively, they bring decades of operational and technical experience across CBRNE, HazMat, safety and security, the Department of Defense, and related sectors.
“Our operational foundation ensures every solution we deliver is practical and mission-aligned,” said Terpening. “We support government and critical infrastructure clients with advanced capabilities, including CBRNE sensors, AI/ML-enabled analytics, real-time data delivery, and comprehensive support services to help meet evolving security requirements.”
To deliver on this promise, NOBLE IQ organizes its services across four core areas: evaluation, implementation, training, and sustainment.
First, through its Evaluation Services, NOBLE IQ helps organizations identify threats, assess vulnerabilities, and validate technologies before full-scale deployment. In partnership with the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven, the NOBLE IQ Center of Excellence conducts scientifically grounded assessments of new and emerging CBRNE technologies. These evaluations examine equipment performance, operational workflows, and response readiness, enabling customers to make confident, informed decisions. In addition, services include threat and vulnerability assessments, equipment testing, and SOP development to align people, processes, and tools.

Next, Implementation Services translate validated technologies into real-world capabilities. NOBLE IQ supports customers throughout selection, procurement, installation, and commissioning of CBRNE detection systems and security screening technologies. Consequently, organizations receive fully deployed, tested, and mission-ready systems from day one.
Equally important, Training Services ensure personnel can use equipment safely and effectively under real-world conditions. With more than 100 specialized courses ranging from HazMatIQ and lithium-ion battery response to counterdrug operations and law enforcement programs NOBLE IQ delivers hands-on, scenario-based instruction. Backed by instructors with over 1,000 years of combined experience, the training equips responders and security professionals with skills they can immediately apply.
Finally, Sustainment Services protect long-term readiness. Through ReadiTrak, NOBLE IQ’s cloud-based maintenance management platform, customers can track assets, manage calibration schedules, and maintain full lifecycle visibility. Additionally, offerings such as calibration, repair, equipment rentals, and 24/7 technical support help minimize downtime and ensure critical systems remain reliable throughout their service life.
Together, these capabilities position NOBLE IQ as a comprehensive partner for organizations seeking resilient, mission-focused safety and security solutions in an increasingly complex threat environment.
