== History ==
Noblis 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](/source/MITRE_Corporation).<ref name="split">{{cite news |last=Day |first=Kathleen |date=1996-02-23 |title=The Think Tank That Went Out for a Spin; Mitre Splits in Two to Answer Concerns That It Has an Unfair Edge in Government Work |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1996/02/23/the-think-tank-that-went-out-for-a-spin/b117b3f3-a72b-44cc-9002-fb118d2aadcf/ |access-date=23 June 2022}}</ref>

Between 1996 and 2006, Mitretek Systems focused on national security threats, chemical and [biological warfare](/source/biological_warfare), biometrics, electronic transactions, traffic congestion, [patient safety](/source/patient_safety), [environmental sustainability](/source/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.
