NGC Wins Contracts to Supply Navigation Radars

(Charlottesville, Va., April 17, 2008) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has won contracts to upgrade the navigation radars on the Canadian Navy's Kingston-Class maritime coastal defense vessels (MCDV) and Canadian Coast Guard vessels.

The contracts, with a total value of more than $2 million (USD), were awarded to Northrop Grumman's Sperry Marine business unit.

SNC-Lavalin, the logistics support project manager for the MCDV program, has awarded contracts to Sperry Marine to replace the existing radar units on the 12 Kingston-Class ships. Each ship will be fitted with a suite of interswitched BridgeMaster E X-band and S-band radars with three 340-millimeter flat-screen displays. The installations will take place at the SNC-Lavalin facilities in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and Esquimalt, British Columbia.

Sperry Marine also recently received a three-year contract to upgrade the radars across the fleet of Canadian Coast Guard vessels with new BridgeMaster E 180, 250 and 340 radar sets.

"Sperry Marine has been a major supplier to the Canadian Navy and Coast Guard for many years," said Alan Aitken, national sales manager for Sperry Marine Canada. "These recent contract awards are a reflection of Sperry Marine's outstanding reputation for reliable state-of-the-art equipment backed by an extensive worldwide service organization."
