ARGON ST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K is to correctly state that the audit report referred to in Item 4.01 is for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

ITEM 4.01.    CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

(a) (1) On September 30, 2004, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of ARGON ST, Inc., formerly Sensytech (the “Registrant”) dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PricewaterhouseCoopers”) and appointed Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) as the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Sensytech, Inc. 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan.

The report of PricewaterhouseCoopers related to the financial statements of the Sensytech, Inc. 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and through September 30, 2004, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and through September 30, 2004, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K.

(b) (1) The Registrant provided a copy of the above disclosures to PricewaterhouseCoopers and requested that they provide a letter, addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission, stating whether or not they agree with the above statements. That letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.3.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and through September 30, 2004, neither the Registrant nor anyone on its behalf consulted Grant Thornton regarding either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Registrant by Grant Thornton.
