Northrop Grumman to Showcase Unmanned Aircraft Capabilities at ILA Berlin Air Show 2010

LONDON, June 2, 2010 - Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) will again be a major
participant in the ILA Berlin Air Show where it will highlight its key
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities with the
Euro Hawk(R) and NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) platforms, which are
international derivatives of the RQ-4 High-Altitude Long-Endurance (HALE)
Global Hawk unmanned aircraft system (UAS).

The air show will take place 8-13 June at the southern section of
Berlin-Schonefeld Airport, with more than 1,000 exhibitors from approximately
40 countries expected to attend. The Northrop Grumman pavilion number 642 and
exhibit area is located at the west end of the ILA exhibition site. A
full-scale RQ-4 model will be on display in front of the joint Northrop
Grumman and EADS pavilion located between Hall 3 and the chalets.

"Northrop Grumman is the world leader in advanced UAS, delivering more
that 100,000 unmanned systems to military customers in the U.S. and abroad
for more than 60 years. That unmatched experience gives us the strong
foundation to produce extraordinarily capable and reliable unmanned
surveillance systems," said John Brooks, president of Northrop Grumman
International Inc. "The Luftwaffe's Euro Hawk(R) marks several important
milestones. It is both the first international version of the RQ-4 and the
first HALE UAS in Europe. NATO's AGS will follow close behind and mark the
second international RQ-4 and the second HALE UAS in Europe. We look forward
to building on the transatlantic industrial cooperation and the strong
partnerships we have developed through both the Euro Hawk(R) and NATO AGS
programmes. Europe is a key market for Northrop Grumman and we have much to
offer."

The EuroHawk GmbH joint venture between Northrop Grumman and EADS Defence
and Security is developing the Euro Hawk(R) unmanned signals intelligence
(SIGINT) surveillance and reconnaissance system. Based on the Block 20 Global
Hawk configuration with a wing span larger than a commercial airliner, Euro
Hawk(R) UAS will be integrated with a new SIGINT mission system developed by
EADS and will serve as the German Air Force's HALE SIGINT system, providing
standoff capability to detect electronic intelligence, or ELINT, and
communications intelligence, or COMINT, emitters. The first Euro Hawk(R) was
introduced in an unveiling ceremony in October 2009 at Northrop Grumman's
Palmdale, Calif., facility.

Northrop Grumman is also prime contractor for the NATO AGS system at the
company's Melbourne, Fla., facility. NATO AGS will employ the Block 40
version of the Global Hawk unmanned aircraft, making NATO the first
international sale of this version of the aircraft system.

Demonstrating its commitment to transatlantic cooperation, Northrop
Grumman leads an industry team of more than 25 companies representing all 15
participating nations to develop and produce the Alliance-owned and operated
airborne ground surveillance core capability. The airborne element of the
NATO AGS system will be equipped with Northrop Grumman's state-of-the-art
Multi-Platform Radar Technology Insertion Program (MP-RTIP) ground
surveillance radar sensor as well as an extensive suite of line-of-sight and
beyond-line-of-sight long-range, wideband data links provided by European
industry. The MP-RTIP sensor was developed to permit a network-centric
approach capable of performing the entire range of NATO missions from
peacetime to crisis management. Significantly, the ground element of the
programme will be wholly produced by European industry, offering the
potential for national re-use in other programmes. The AGS system provides
real-time data, intelligence and target identification to NATO users within
and beyond line of sight.

Northrop Grumman's German and Italian subsidiaries will also be
represented at the air show. Northrop Grumman LITEF (Hall 8, location 206)
will display sensors for weapon stabilisation, inertial guidance systems for
missiles and Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS)/ navigation systems for
fixed and rotary wing aircraft based on fibre optic and MEMS technology.
Northrop Grumman Italia (Hall 7, location 405) will display a full range of
its state-of-the-art fibre-optic navigation systems including the LISA-200,
the Navex family of attitude heading reference systems and LN 251 / LN 270
high accuracy inertial navigation systems. Systems from Northrop Grumman
LITEF and Northrop Grumman Italia are in service on aircraft platforms in the
U.S., Europe and Asia and are fitted to the Eurofighter Typhoon, the Tornado
and BAE Systems Hawk as well as the Meteor, Taurus and IRIS-T missiles.

Northrop Grumman, headquartered in Los Angeles, has offices across Europe
in: Freiburg and Hamburg, Germany; Pomezia, Italy; Paris; Brussels, Belgium;
Oslo, Norway; and at locations across the United Kingdom.
