Nomadics

What Nomadics does

Founded in 2006 as Nomad Geomatics (rebranded to The Nomad Group in 2012 and to NOMADICS in October 2021), Nomadics is a privately held science, engineering, and technology consulting firm headquartered in Morristown, New Jersey. The company employs more than 25 full-time staff plus a national network of subject matter experts, and operates field offices in Washington DC, Jacksonville FL, and Newport RI to support federal engagements. NOMADICS serves U.S. Department of Defense agencies (Navy, Army, Air Force), federal civilian agencies, state and local governments, and select commercial clients; the firm built initial credibility through high-profile environmental disaster responses including the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the 2011 ExxonMobil Silvertip Pipeline rupture.

The firm's core offerings span three practices: (1) Geospatial Intelligence, Digital Information and Data Analytics Services built on Esri's ArcGIS platform with LiDAR, photogrammetry, remote sensing, and cloud-native analytics on AWS GovCloud; (2) Engineering and Technical Services, including Safety, Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (SRAM) engineering for Navy Unmanned Underwater Vehicle systems, ordnance support at Picatinny Arsenal, Finite Element Analysis, and 3D Technical Data Packages; and (3) Research and Development Services covering prototyping, additive manufacturing (3D printing of metals and polymers), and process R&D. Proprietary technical assets include a hybrid LiDAR/photogrammetry 3D modeling platform that achieves 5-25 cm spatial accuracy, a cloud-native data federation layer bridging more than 1,024 TB of National Geospatial Intelligence Data across AWS, NTAD, and NIST sources, and operational dashboard products such as Project: Sure Shot and Project Broad Street (deployed across 10+ states for COVID-19 response, April 2020-December 2022) and Project Thor for real-time field tracking.

NOMADICS generates revenue almost entirely through professional services contracts, primarily via federal contract vehicles including a prime position on the U.S. Navy's SeaPort-NxG contract (awarded July 2021, all seven SeaPort zones), GSA schedules, and more than 20 defense consortium memberships including SOSSEC, S2MARTS, NSTXL, T-REX, SBIR, NSTIC, and DOTC, which provide access to Other Transaction Agreement awards for prototype work. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting federal agencies and prime contractors, channel access via consortium memberships for OTA opportunities, and event-driven brand building through SAME conferences and federal small business events. The company is founder-led by Dr. Nicholas M. DAmbrosio, Ph.D., GISP, with no disclosed external institutional investment or acquisition activity.
