17 July 2006


  QinetiQ announces £2m purchase of Tarsier runway debris detection system by
                          Dubai International Airport

QinetiQ's Tarsier runway debris detection radar system has been purchased by
Dubai International Airport. Tarsier can detect small items of potentially
dangerous debris on airport runways.

The President of the Government of Dubai's Department of Civil Aviation and
Chairman of Emirates Group, His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum today
signed an agreement with QinetiQ's Chief Executive Officer, Graham Love, at the
Farnborough International Airshow for the purchase of a £2 million Tarsier
system.

Tarsier was successfully trialled at Dubai last November (2005) and a system
covering both of the airport's runways is now expected be installed later this
year. The announcement of the deal follows the first permanent installation of a
Tarsier system, which was successfully completed at Vancouver International
Airport recently.
