Northrop Grumman to Provide EyeDrive Mini-Robot to U.S. Customers

CLINTON, Tenn., June 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation's
(NYSE:NOC) subsidiary, Remotec Inc., based in Clinton, Tenn., has signed an
agreement with ODF Optronics LTD, Tel Aviv, Israel, to be the exclusive
worldwide manufacturer and sole provider of ODF's Eye-Drive mini-robot in the
United States and Canada.

EyeDrive is an observation and surveillance remote-controlled mini-robot that
provides continuous real-time 360-degree audio and video surveillance. It
includes a unique touch screen operator control unit featuring ODF's proprietary
Point 'n Go(tm) navigation. This innovative system allows the user to simply
touch a location on the control unit's panoramic view to direct the robot,
making deployment intuitive and easy. At about five pounds, EyeDrive can be
easily carried, deployed and controlled by a single operator.

"EyeDrive is an innovative system with great synergy to our Andros product line,
providing unique capabilities to our first-responder and military customers. It
is lightweight and durable enough to be thrown through windows, over fences or
into other hard-to-reach locations," said Mike Knopp, president of Northrop
Grumman's Remotec subsidiary. "With this agreement, Northrop Grumman Remotec
strengthens its lead in the U.S. robotics market in all weight classes. Remotec
and ODF are a formidable team determined to help our valued customers keep
danger at a distance."

Both Remotec and ODF Optronics produce an array of combat-proven robots.

"The EyeDrive was designed from the ground up with innovative features that meet
exacting requirements and has been validated in combat with excellent user
feedback," said Josef Fishman, president and chief executive officer of ODF
Optronics. "Remotec is a natural partner for us given their reputation for
customer satisfaction and excellent performance. The agreement with Northrop
Grumman is considered by ODF as a major step toward successful introduction of
ODF products to the North American and global strategic markets."

For more than 25 years, Remotec has served the military, explosive ordnance
disposal units, hazardous materials units, and other first responders as a
leading provider of mobile robotic systems for application into a variety of
undesirable, hazardous, and potentially life-threatening environments.

ODF Optronics Ltd. develops and manufactures innovative and cost-effective
situational awareness and image understanding systems that serve and protect

conflict and anti-terrorism activities in urban environments. ODF Optronics
