LONDON - Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) announced that its air traffic

“Participating in ATC Global is an important opportunity for us to
demonstrate the range of our capabilities from integrated air traffic
management systems to airport security solutions,” said Paul Davison, vice
president for Northrop Grumman’s Information Systems sector in Europe. “It
also provides an opportunity to establish and maintain a dialogue with our
customers and other key stakeholders. We are represented here at ATC Global
this week by both Charles Houseago, managing director for Park Air Systems in
the UK and Eldar Hauge, managing director for Park Air Systems in Norway.

the company’s communication, navigation and surveillance product lines.

The capabilities of the PAE T6 and PAE M7 VHF/UHF multimode digital radio

system to create a digital end-to-end communications system demonstration.
