Northrop Grumman Highlights Industry Leading Security Capabilities for India at DefExpo 2010

NEW DELHI, February 12 - Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) will be participating at DefExpo
2010 where it will highlight its range of industry-leading capabilities in
airborne early warning and control systems for maritime reconnaissance, fire
control radars, unmanned aircraft systems, coastal surveillance and marine
navigation, and ships.

The land and naval systems show DefExpo will be held at the Pragati
Maidan, New Delhi from 15-18 Feb., 2010. It is organised by the Defence
Exhibition Organisation, Ministry of Defence. Northrop Grumman will be
exhibiting in Hall 14.

"India is an important market for Northrop Grumman and with core
competencies and proven capabilities in unmanned systems and airborne early
warning and control we are ready to meet the country's current and evolving
homeland security priorities," said John Brooks, president Northrop Grumman
International Inc. and vice-president of business development for Northrop
Grumman Aerospace Systems sector. "Our focus is to link together and network
all of these systems to create solutions that respond to India's requirements
for a coordinated national defence structure. We look forward to showing how
our products and capabilities can help India achieve its defence
modernization objectives."

Among the exhibits on display will be Northrop Grumman's world leading
capabilities in airborne early warning and control. Featured will be the E-2D
Advanced Hawkeye and the multi-role electronically scanned array (MESA)
radar.

The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye programme has enhanced the E-2 mission system
by providing a new more powerful radar and avionics system to create an
advanced AEW&C capability. An E-2D Advanced Hawkeye crew work-station and
flyable cockpit simulator will be included among the exhibits to demonstrate
the benefits of the E-2D for military and civil applications. India is among
the very first countries for which the Advanced Hawkeye capability has been
released.

The MESA surveillance radar is an advanced airborne surveillance sensor
and provides peninsular protection enabling sophisticated air-to-air and
maritime coverage and integrated friend-or-foe identification. A computer
demonstration of MESA capabilities and scale model of the array will be
available for viewing.

Also on display will be a model of Northrop Grumman's AN/APG-80 active
electronically scanned array (AESA) radar for the F-16IN Super Viper
multi-role fighter aircraft.

Northrop Grumman's airborne surveillance capability will also be
highlighted with a model of Fire Scout, the Vertical Unmanned Aircraft System
(VUAS) multi-role UAV on display. Fire Scout has recently deployed initially
with the U.S. Navy.

The company's latest generation of navigation and ship control technology
will be highlighted. The Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine VisionMaster FT
provides a highly integrated, fully networked suite of marine radar and
electronic charting systems designed to form the backbone of the modern
ship's integrated bridge. In addition to the standard suite, Northrop Grumman
will feature its integrated platform management solution as part of the
VisionMaster FT defence offering.

Other programmes available for viewing will be models of directional
infrared countermeasures (DIRCM); the LITENING advanced airborne targeting
and navigation pod; the mine warfare mission system Airborne Laser Mine
Detection System (ALMDS); and the Joint Multi-mission Expeditionary Craft
(JMEC) that demonstrates the company's scalable network-centric warfare C4I
system for high-speed boats capable of operating in locations from high-seas
to the most challenging inland waterways.

Northrop Grumman's capabilities in maritime security for military and
civil applications will be featured with the Harbour and Coastal Security
(HCS) system being highlighted. HCS integrates off-the-shelf computers,
communications, and sensors with sensor processing and Maritime Domain
Awareness (MDA) databases to provide a flexible, standards-based command and
control system supporting layered, multi-agency, maritime security and safety
operations. HCS can easily be adapted and scaled for shore based, off shore,
or shipboard use.

Also available for viewing will be the Dismounted Computer System (DCS),
a multi-processor computer system capable of operating two different
Operating Systems simultaneously designed for installation in military
vehicles and the Soldier Link System, a lightweight wearable communications
system for ground forces.

The company will also be promoting its LPD San Antonio-class Amphibious
Warfare and Transport ship and the International Patrol Frigate, a versatile
warship based on the multi-mission National Security Cutter currently
operated by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Northrop Grumman Corporation is a leading global security company whose
120,000 employees provide innovative systems, products, and solutions in
aerospace, electronics, information systems, shipbuilding and technical
services to government and commercial customers worldwide.
