LONDON, May 15 /PRNewswire/ --

Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) will be demonstrating its range
of air traffic management systems and capabilities together with its new
integrated airport security solution, Airtight, at the Airport Show, Dubai.

Airport Show, held at the Airport Expo Dubai, from 19-21 May, is one of
the largest airport construction, operations, technology and services events
in the world. Northrop Grumman will be exhibiting at Stand CD 13.

Airtight uses data from existing airport sensors and infrastructure to
create a common operating picture which can then be shared with the emergency
services and first responders, resulting in a significantly enhanced security
operating environment. The sensor fusion capabilities of Airtight include
integrating not only traditional motion sensors and cameras but also the
installed base of field-proven Northrop Grumman technologies such as
surveillance radar and surface movement guidance and control systems (SMGCS)
to offer a complete operational picture.

"Airport operations are increasingly subject to disruption and may be
affected by a range of possible security threats from criminal activity to
breaches of external perimeter security which can impose a substantial burden
on airport resources," said Paul Davison, managing director of Northrop
Grumman's Information Systems sector in Europe. "Our Airtight solution offers
airport operators a cost efficient path to strengthening security awareness
throughout restricted and controlled zones, with minimum additional burden on
existing resources."

Airtight provides a multi-layered and scalable solution that offers a
range of airport security capabilities from threat analysis, detection and
assessment, through to planning and directing the actions of first
responders. It exploits customers' existing security assets, including
cameras, motion sensors and access control systems, whilst offering a
flexible growth path for upgrades and the introduction of new technologies as
and when they are required.

Northrop Grumman's subsidiary Park Air Systems will be also be displaying
its range of air traffic management solutions from across the company's
communication, navigation and surveillance product lines. This will include
the PAE T6 VHF/UHF multimode digital radio and the GAREX 220 voice
communication control system. The surveillance equipment on display will
include the NOVA 9000 air traffic control systems for tower and approach
control, air traffic control centres and advanced-surface movement guidance
and control systems (A-SMGCS).
