          Government Contract Information and Expedited Processing Request

        Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corp. (“NGMS”) hereby requests an
extension of authorization to operate a fixed experimental radio station facility, as detailed below
and in the Form 442 application, beginning on March 2, 2009. Under the Counter Radio-
Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (“CREW”) program and pursuant
to contract number N00024-08-C-6309, NGMS is developing systems for the Department of
Defense to help troops in the field counteract roadside bombs that are triggered by radio control,
improvised explosive devices. The authorization requested herein is necessary to allow NGMS
to continue its tests on the CREW system’s embedded GPS receiver and external antenna within
an internal chamber at NGMS’s facilities located at 15120 Innovation Drive, San Diego (San
Diego County), California (NAD83: NL 32-59-3 1; WL 117-04-48).

        The fixed experimental radio station facilities utilize a NavTech GPS Repeater Kit,
GPSRK, comprised of a roof receiver antenna located on the exterior of the building that is
cabled to a transmit antenna mounted inside a screen room chamber within the building, which
re-radiates the GPS signal. The re-radiated signal remains within the screen room chamber. The
repeater kit re-radiates GPS frequencies L1 at 1575.42 MHz and L2 at 1227.60 MHz, with an
emission designator of 24M0G1D and a power of -81.7 dBm EIRP. Please refer to the table
below for the link budget analysis to compute the EIRP at a 100 foot distance from the radiating
element.




        The stop buzzer contact to terminate operations for the program is Mr. Paul Wulff
(Cell phone: 858-774-8513; Office: 858-592-3296).
