Wednesday August 27, 2008 9:15 am ET

VANCOUVER, BC--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 27, 2008 -- Northstar Electronics, Inc. (OTC BB:NEIK.OB - News) announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Northstar Network Ltd., has received new purchase orders totaling US$4,116,000 for work on the P3 Service Life Extension Project (ASLEP) from Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, Inc. The new work, covering the next 28 aircraft shipsets, is under the umbrella of a Master Purchase Order (MPO) contract previously announced by Northstar.

Production for this phase is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2009. Terry McLeod, Northstar's VP, Planning & Development, commented, "The Northstar team, continues to increase its contract commitments and performance on this project."

The P3 is a maritime surveillance aircraft. Northstar is manufacturing components for new production service life extension kits for the aircraft. These components will add more than 15,000 flying hours to each aircraft, representing 15 to 20 additional years of service for this critical maritime patrol and reconnaissance resource.

In addition to the next 28 aircraft shipsets, an increase over the original 48 plane units is anticipated as the present lifetime for these aircraft nears more critical limits.

Mr. McLeod further commented, "As our facilities and support network expands, other legacy aircraft retrofit opportunities will be pursued."
