           ROLLS-ROYCE RECEIVES $183 MILLION SERVICE CONTRACT FOR 
                       US ARMY KIOWA WARRIOR ENGINES                                    

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has received a contract valued
at US$183 Million to service M250 engines, which power the US Army's fleet of
OH-58D Kiowa Warrior scout helicopters.

The contract, to support 500 M250 engines on more than 300 aircraft, begins in
July 2012 for a year, and the Army has options to extend the contract for four
additional years.

Rolls-Royce has supported the Kiowa Warrior fleet for 13 years, including
placing Field Service Representatives on more than 20 in-theatre deployments to
support the Army. Rolls-Royce currently has 23 Field Service Representatives
supporting 11 Kiowa Warrior units.

Dan Korte, Rolls-Royce, President - Defence, said, "Rolls-Royce is focused on
providing affordable, dependable support to help our military customers
complete their missions every day. For years, we have been working hard to
ensure these Army crews come home safely after every mission, and we are
committed to providing our full support so that continues."

The M250-powered Kiowa Warriors have completed more than two million flight
hours, including more than 750,000 hours in combat.

The new contracts are part of the Rolls-Royce MissionCareâ„¢ support system for
military customers, a suite of services tailored to help each customer meet
their mission. Rolls-Royce is the only company to have MissionCare type
contracts in place with all branches of the US military, including the Air
Force, Navy, Marines, Army and Coast Guard.
