Northrop Grumman Discusses Capabilities in Electronic Warfare Interoperability for UAE at Defense Sensors Technology Conference

Northrop Grumman, principal VIP sponsor, presents world leading capability in airborne early warning and control

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, June 28, 2010 - Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) will be participating at the
Defense Sensors Technology Conference in Abu Dhabi, UAE where it will
highlight its wide range of industry-leading capabilities in electronic
warfare (EW) interoperability and EW's contribution to the overall
surveillance picture among its airborne early warning and control systems.

The conference organized by Tangent Link will be held at the Abu Dhabi
Officer's Club on 29-30 June 2010. Northrop Grumman is the principal VIP
sponsor.

Brigadier General Saeed Obaid Al-Kaabi, Chief of Staff of the combined
UAE Armed Forces said, "The aim of this inaugural EW conference is to focus
on the needs of the EW and intelligence community and to offer an opportunity
for industry to demonstrate its advanced technical solutions; solutions that
might well have a practical application for the Armed Forces of the United
Arab Emirates as it seeks to build and develop its joint C4ISR capabilities,
and in particular EW architecture. I am delighted that a prestigious company
such as Northrop Grumman has agreed to support the event as the principal VIP
sponsor and look forward with great interest to a challenging two day
conference and one that I hope will lead to a better and more productive
engagement with industry."

This event in association with the UAE Armed Forces will be held to
discuss operational considerations in EW sensor exploitation, intelligence
production and information dissemination.

"The UAE represents an important partnership for Northrop Grumman and we
recognize the country's changing needs particularly in electronic warfare and
homeland defence," said Jerry Spruill, director, AEW&C International
Programs, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems sector. "The 21st century battle
space has dramatically changed and electronic warfare is a vital element in
staying one step ahead of the threat. The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye's robust
capabilities provide access to the battle space, degrade the enemy's
capability to attack, and, most importantly, save lives."

Northrop Grumman's Steve Goldfein, director of Strategic Analysis and
Douglas Raaberg, director of Business Development for Air Force & Air
National Guard Programs will address the conference on EW interoperability
and integration into the ISTAR picture based. The conference address will
focus on the company's world-leading capability in airborne early warning and
control (AEW&C) the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye program
has modernized the E-2 weapon system by providing a new, more powerful radar
and other avionics systems to create an advanced AEW&C. The EW capabilities
of the E-2D contribute to both the tactical target identification and
critical threat data collection.

Northrop Grumman has had an active presence in the Middle East for more
than a decade with its regional headquarters in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and has
well-established partnerships with the UAE and other countries in the region
in support of a variety of defence and civil programmes. In 2008, the company
further expanded its industry footprint by opening an office in Riyadh, Saudi
