About Nokomis, Inc.:
Nokomis, Inc. develops and markets pre-eminent electromagnetic products for the defense industry. Defense industry focus continues to shift more and more towards an overwhelming dependency on electronics. Nokomis is uniquely positioned to focus on a generation of electromagnetic technologies that leverage electromagnetic signatures and electromagnetic effects. The company's proprietary technology and products will alter the way commanders pursue terrorists and other adversaries in remote and urban environments.

The war on terror is recognized to be a multi-decade affair. Engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq are unlikely to be short-term affairs. These efforts foster unique needs for technologies that are covert in nature, yet robust in capability. Electromagnetic technology and weaponry alone offers that combination. The defense market has shifted dramatically towards those who can exploit the electromagnetic spectrum at the highest and lowest power levels. Nokomis is positioned favorably on this expanding landscape.

Nokomis technologies simply exploit the principles of electrodynamic interactions with electronics through advanced technology to passively locate, detect, track or garner information about adversaries and actively upset, debilitate and/or damage adversaries' equipment and their ability to carry out operations.
