EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Sept. 9, 2004 -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has been awarded a $388 million contract by the U.S. Air Force for the next phase of a program to modernize the B-2 radar system. This program continues the efforts of the Air Force and Northrop Grumman to enhance the stealth bomber's ability to operate as part of the military's increasingly integrated force structure.

Northrop Grumman's Integrated Systems sector, the B-2 prime contractor, is leading the radar modernization effort, which will replace the current radar antenna with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) antenna. Raytheon Company's Space and Airborne Systems in El Segundo, which provided the original B-2 radar, is the principal subcontractor.
