Our History

Growing as a global systems innovator we don’t just follow the playbook; we innovate and lead. 

For more than 25 years, Nova has brought a different perspective – we see what others miss – the difference between what works on paper and what works in the field. We don’t just design systems; we deliver solutions that people trust with their lives. 

 

We solve complex challenges in innovative ways. 

We have experts in innovation and advanced technologies. Relied upon to develop and test capabilities critical to national security and safety. 

We are trusted to integrate mission systems solutions and develop software and products that protect lives every day. 

We simplify complexity - understanding the operator’s real needs and developing digital solutions with artificial intelligence, machine learning, modelling and simulation. 

Nova is a Trustmark – trusted to deliver, time and again. 

When clients see ‘It’s a Nova solution’, they know it stands for something more. We call it as we see it. We get the job done, no matter what it takes. 

Nova is not just a provider, but a true partner – a global systems innovator. 

End-user first. Always.
