LONDON, December 22, 2010 - Northrop Grumman Corporation's (NYSE: NOC) Europe-based air traffic
management subsidiary, Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems, continues to grow
its international sales in the Middle East region with the supply of
communication, navigation and surveillance systems for the recently opened Al
Maktoum International Airport in Jebel Ali, Dubai which is set to become the
world's largest airport when it is fully completed.

"The contracts for Al Maktoum International have consolidated our
position in the Gulf region as the premier supplier of communications,
navigation and surveillance systems and services," said Eldar Hauge, managing
director, Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems Norway. "We congratulate Dubai on
the opening of Al Maktoum and look forward to continuing our successful
co-operation as the airport expands towards becoming the largest in the
world."

Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems has supplied a range of communication,
navigation and surveillance products to Al Maktoum International valued at
more than $16 million, including ground movement radar (GMR), voice
communication control system (VCCS), very high frequency radios (VHF) and
instrument landing systems (ILS).

The company has provided daily on-site support over the last 24-months to
ensure that all necessary electrical and electronic infrastructure has been
implemented in the control tower and associated technical buildings and to
meet design and schedule requirements.
