I love these scavenger hunts. It's possible (probable!) that none of these are what you want.
A Google search turns up: ----------------- NOOS Space Technologies Limited is a Russian Satcom group: http://www.fas.org/spp/civil/russia/nst.htm This looks like a possibility, though what they'd be doing in Dennmark is anyones guess. The presence of an American does not mean much - he could be a contractor.
Links from that site are intriguing.
Alta Vista, as always is richer if not faster than Googol. The first hit on Alta Vista is to an Italian translation of TS Eliot's Little Gidding (wa wonderful poem :-) There are some computer resellers in Kiev: http://www.noos.kiev.ua/
------------------ http://www.vnh.org/Admin/Afloat/Afloat01.html This looks interesting. The document appears to deal with handling accidents in the US Navy. It contains lines such as
" a.COMSC Safety Office (NOOS) shall"
the OS in NOOS could be Operational or Occupational Safety. NOOS appears to be a title for a US Naval officer with safety responsibilities.
There are links suggested to http://www.norva.navy.mil/navosh/ which is some sort of training college ("industrial hygiene"is one of the courses) - perhaps it is to do with the COMSC (NOOS) Peter already mentioned at http://www.vnh.org/Admin/Afloat/Afloat03.html - which is I guess back to the original sealift idea.
Noos is apparently the name of a cable operator/ISP? of Suez Lyonnaise des Eaux, partially owned by Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, an American company.
http://www.francetelecomna.com/nr/nr_prre/nr_prre_08-07-00_noos.htm http://www.apec.asso.fr/entreprise/32910827800048-noos/ http://noos.free.fr seems to be an independent group for users of NOOS
This also looks like a good possibility ------------- Sillier ones:
Network of Objectivist Scholars (http://www.objectivist-scholars.net/) Nah, I don't think the Randites are building radomes in Dennmark (sounds like something out of Illuminatus!) ------------- Nigi Nigi Nu Noos e Nu Nu Noos is the name of a resort at Balabag, Boracay Island, Malaya http://www.bridgestravel.com/nigi-nigi/index.htm (I know that's not it, but could not resist the temptation to type Nigi Nigi Nu Noos e Nu Nu Noos :-) ----------- Noos is of course, ancient Greek for 'mind'.
Or they could be clammies - the Prophet Elron explained the origins of the word "Dianetics" as "Dia - through, noos - mind". Ken Brown
Nasda Ocean Observation System http://www.ioccg.org/thailand/noos.html http://www.aic.nrl.navy.mil/~aha/research/old/iccbr-95-summary.txt has a reference to "Cases as feature values in the NOOS language" - unlikely toi be relevant.
But True Conspiracy theorists will want to connect it to "Summer Noos" on Blackhawk Helicopters at: http://www.nvctc.commnet.edu/conncap/page2.htm Obviously a paramilitary training camp designed to indoctrinate American Youth into the statist grasp of the enforcers of the New World Order. My guess is the Nasda lot. They seem to be into GIS & remote sensing & also work with Unesco & some UK universities, so I guess they could turn up more or less anywhere - though in that case why the heavies? Danes are usually a lot less hassled by tourists wandering around uninvited than, say Russians. Or even Americans.
