NGC Awarded Contract for LITENING Advanced Targeting Systems

(Rolling Meadows, Ill., January 31, 2008) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has received a contract to deliver LITENING Advanced Targeting (AT) systems to the Finnish Air Force (FiAF) for its F-18 Mid-life Update 2 Program.

Under the terms of the $30 million contract, Northrop Grumman's Defensive Systems Division will deliver 10 LITENING AT systems to the FiAF under the U.S. Government Foreign Military Sales program beginning in late 2008 and continuing through 2009.

"With this contract award, Finland joins a growing number of international allies who have procured the LITENING AT system after a comprehensive, in-depth competitive analysis that reviewed applicable targeting pods in use by the U.S. armed forces. We welcome the addition of the FiAF to the expanding global community of LITENING AT users," said Mike Lennon, vice president of Targeting and Surveillance programs for Northrop Grumman's Defensive Systems Division. "LITENING AT offers advanced technology, unique features, high reliability and proven worldwide support, coupled with a demonstrated ability to easily integrate emerging technologies, all at a very competitive price and delivery schedule."
