1.                 Description of Business

DRS Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries (hereinafter, DRS or the Company) is a supplier of defense electronic products, systems and military support services. The Company provides high-technology products and services to all branches of the U.S. military, major aerospace and defense prime contractors, government intelligence agencies, international military forces and industrial markets. The Company focuses on several key areas of importance for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), such as intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, power management, advanced communications and network systems. DRS is a provider of thermal imaging devices, combat display workstations, electronic sensor systems, power systems, battlefield digitization systems, air combat training systems, mission recorders, deployable flight incident recorders, environmental and telecommunication systems, aircraft loaders, military trailers and shelters, and integrated logistics support services. The Company also provides support services to the military, including security and asset protection system services, telecommunication and information technology services, training and logistics support services for all branches of the U.S. armed forces, and certain foreign militaries, homeland security forces and selected government and intelligence agencies.

The Company operates in three principal operating segments on the basis of products and services offered. Each operating segment is comprised of separate and distinct businesses. Our segments are: the Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) Group, the Surveillance & Reconnaissance (SR) Group and the Sustainment Systems & Services (S3) Group. All other operations, primarily our Corporate Headquarters, are grouped in Other.

2.                 Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements of DRS Technologies, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a partnership of which DRS owns an 80% controlling interest (hereinafter, DRS or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of the Company, the interim consolidated financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2006, the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain fiscal 2006 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2007 presentation. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, included in the Company’s filing on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006.

The fiscal year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

3.                 Acquisitions

On January 31, 2006, DRS completed its acquisition of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. (ESSI) for $1.93 billion in cash and DRS common stock. In the transaction, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRS was merged with ESSI, with the ESSI operating units forming DRS’s third operating segment—the S3 Group. ESSI, formerly headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, is a supplier of integrated military electronics,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

support equipment and technical services focused on advanced sustainment and logistics support solutions for all branches of the U.S. armed services, major prime defense contractors, certain international militaries, homeland security forces and selected government and intelligence agencies. ESSI also produces specialized equipment and systems for commercial and industrial applications. The results of ESSI have been included in our financial statements since the date of acquisition.

In accordance with EITF 95-3 “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination”, the Company recorded a $5.7 million liability in the preliminary purchase price allocation in connection with a plan to involuntarily terminate approximately 190 employees of ESSI, as well as exit certain leased facilities. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating additional restructuring actions and management anticipates finalizing its plans in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 with the payments being substantially complete by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

The Company is in the process of obtaining a third-party valuation of certain assets and liabilities, including acquired intangible assets and finalizing its own internal assessment of the purchase price allocation; thus, the preliminary allocation of purchase price will change, and such change could be material. Our preliminary purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2006 has not changed materially from the allocation included in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006. The Company anticipates completing the purchase price allocation in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

4.                 Share-Based Compensation

Adoption of SFAS 123R   In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, (SFAS No. 123) and supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25). SFAS 123R addresses the accounting for transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R requires companies to recognize compensation cost in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based awards expected to vest.

On April 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective method. Under this method, we are required to record compensation cost for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that were outstanding as of April 1, 2006. Results for prior periods have not been restated. We previously accounted for share-based compensation under the recognition and measurement principle of APB No. 25 and related interpretations. Prior to SFAS 123R adoption, no share-based compensation cost was reflected in net income for stock options, as stock options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Also, prior to the SFAS 123R adoption, compensation cost for restricted stock and restricted stock units (collectively “non-vested stock”) was

5




DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)

recorded based on the closing market value on the last trading day prior to the date of grant. Compensation cost for non-vested stock was charged to unamortized stock compensation in Stockholders’ equity and amortized to expense over the requisite vesting periods. With the adoption of SFAS 123R on April 1, 2006, unamortized stock compensation relating to previous grants of non-vested stock of $7.2 million was credited to additional paid-in capital. Additionally, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123R requires excess tax benefits (i.e., the tax benefit recognized upon exercise of stock options in excess of the benefit recognized as compensation cost for those options) to be classified as financing cash flows in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Pursuant to SFAS 123R, tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options, which have been presented as operating cash flows prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R are not reclassified to financing activities, but rather continue to be presented as operating cash flows.

The adoption of SFAS 123R resulted in a non-cash credit to other income (expense), net for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $0.2 million related to the recognition of estimated forfeitures on non-vested stock. The cumulative effect credit is immaterial for purposes of separate presentation on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings.

As a result of the application of SFAS 123R in the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded share-based costs related to stock options and non-vested stock of $2.6 million. Such amount was recognized in the consolidated financial statements as follows:

Amounts recognized in the financial statements for equity-based compensation are as follows:

As a result of applying SFAS 123R, the Company’s earnings before income taxes and net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.8 million and $1.1 million lower, respectively, than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB No. 25. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 would have been $0.57 per share and $0.55 per share, respectively, if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123R, compared to reported amounts of $0.54 per basic share and $0.52 per diluted share.

Prior Period Pro Forma Information   Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company applied the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB 25, and its related interpretations. Compensation expense for stock options granted to an employee or director was recognized in earnings based on the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of DRS common stock at the date of grant, or other measurement date, over the amount an employee or director must pay to acquire the common stock. When the exercise price of the option granted to an employee or director equaled or exceeded the quoted market price of DRS common stock at the date of grant, the Company did not recognize compensation

expense. Compensation cost for nonvested stock was recorded based on the market value of DRS common stock on the date of grant.

The table below compares the “as reported” net earnings and earnings per share to the “pro forma” net earnings and earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2005, that the Company would have reported if it had elected to recognize compensation expense in accordance with the fair value-based method of accounting of SFAS No. 123. For purposes of determining the pro forma effects of SFAS No. 123, the estimated fair value of options granted was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model. Option forfeitures were accounted for as they occurred and no amount of stock option expense were capitalized into inventory or other assets, but instead were considered period expenses.

Under the terms of the Omnibus Plan, which expired on June 16, 2006, options could be granted to key employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The 1996 Plan initially was limited to 500,000 shares of DRS common stock and was ultimately increased, with stockholder approval, to 5,875,000 shares of DRS common stock. Awards under the 1996 Plan were the discretion of the Executive Compensation Committee and could be made in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, phantom stock, stock bonuses and other awards. The Company has historically utilized newly issued shares of DRS common stock to satisfy its equity-based compensation awards.

On August 3, 2006, the stockholders approved the 2006 Omnibus Plan which has similar terms to that of the 1996 Omnibus Plan. The 2006 Omnibus Plan provides for the issuance of up to a maximum of 4.0 million shares of DRS common stock.

Stock Options   Unless the Executive Compensation Committee expressly provides otherwise, options granted under the Omnibus Plan have a contractual term of ten years and generally are not exercisable prior to one year after the date of grant, with 25% of the options granted exercisable on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. On July 6, 2005, the Company granted 209,500 stock options that fully vested on March 31, 2006. In accordance with the July 6, 2005 stock option grant, recipients are required to hold any shares acquired upon exercise of the options prior to March 31, 2008 (net of any shares sold or withheld to pay the exercise price and any applicable statutory minimum federal, state and

local tax requirements) for a period of one year following the date of exercise. The Company’s decision to modify its traditional vesting terms for the July 6, 2005 stock option grant was made pursuant to management’s ongoing evaluation of the Company’s overall incentive compensation strategy, including the type of future share-based compensation awards. As a part of the evaluation, management considered the amount of compensation expense that would otherwise have been recognized in the Company’s results of operations in future periods under SFAS 123R. The July 6, 2005 stock option grant had a $4.8 million impact on the Company’s pro forma pre-tax compensation expense.

During fiscal 1999, the Board of Directors issued options to purchase 250,000 shares of DRS common stock with vesting terms similar to awards issued under the 1996 Plan at exercise prices in excess of the market price on the date of grant. The options expire in fiscal 2009.

The stock options exercised during fiscal 2000 included 50,000 shares, which are being held by the Company in “book entry” form. Book entry shares are not considered issued or outstanding and are excluded from the tables below. However, these shares are included in the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculations for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

The table summarizes information regarding the Company’s stock option activity and amounts as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

       (1) Represents outstanding options reduced by expected forfeitures.

The aggregate intrinsic value, disclosed in the table above, represents the difference between DRS’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the first quarter (June 30, 2006) and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money stock options outstanding.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised, based on the difference between DRS’s stock price at the time of exercise and the related exercise price, was $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and $8.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Total compensation expense related to stock options was $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options was $13.7 million ($8.3 million after income taxes), which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.7 years.

The estimated weighted average grant date fair value of each stock option awarded was $49.91 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and there were no options granted for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Stock Option Fair Value Estimation Assumptions   For purposes of estimating the fair value provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company estimates the fair value of its stock options at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The Company’s valuation model is impacted by DRS’s stock price as well as weighted average assumptions for a number of subjective variables described below.

·       Expected Holding Period   The expected holding period of stock options granted represents the period of time that stock options granted are expected to be outstanding until they are exercised, cancelled or forfeited. The Company uses historical data to estimate stock option exercise data and employee terminations within the valuation model.

·       Expected Volatility   Expected volatility is based on historical daily volatility of DRS common stock over the expected holding period.

·       Expected Dividend Yield   Expected dividend yield is based on DRS’s expected payments.

·       Risk-Free Interest Rate   The risk-free interest rates for stock options are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for maturities similar to the expected holding period of the stock options.

·  Forfeiture Rate  The forfeiture rate is based on the historical forfeiture experience and prospective analysis of different pools of employees. We monitor share option exercise and employee termination patterns of each pool to estimate forfeiture rates within the valuation model.

Changes in assumptions can materially impact the estimated fair value of stock options. The weighted average assumptions used in the valuation model are presented in the table below.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units   Restricted stock awards are granted to certain employees, as permitted under the 1996 Plan in the name of the employee, who has all the rights of a stockholder, subject to certain restrictions. The restricted stock cliff vests three years from the date of grant. Restricted stock units are granted in the name of the employee; however, the participant has no rights as a stockholder. These restricted stock units are redeemed for DRS common stock once a three-year cliff vesting period has been satisfied. The cost of the grants, as determined by the market prices of the common stock at the grant dates, is recognized over the vesting periods.

Compensation cost for non-vested stock for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock awards was $18.1 million and that amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.1 years.

Inventoried contract costs for the Company’s businesses that are primarily government contractors include certain general and administrative (G&A) costs, including internal research and development costs (IRAD) and bid and proposal costs (B&P). G&A, IRAD and B&P costs are allowable, indirect contract costs under U.S. government regulations. The Company allocates these costs to government contracts and accounts for them as product costs at the majority of the Company’s operating units, not as period expenses.

The table below presents a summary of G&A, IRAD and B&P costs included in inventoried contract costs and changes to them, including amounts used in the determination of costs and expenses. The cost data in the table below does not include the G&A, IRAD and B&P costs for the Company’s lines of businesses that are not primarily contracted with the U.S. government, such costs are expensed as incurred.

The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s term loan borrowings was 6.7% as of June 30, 2006 (6.3% as of March 31, 2006). The weighted average interest rate under the revolving line of credit borrowings was 7.5% at June 30, 2006 (6.2% as of March 31, 2006).

From time to time, the Company enters into standby letters-of-credit and bank guarantee agreements with financial institutions and customers, primarily relating to the guarantee of its future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services and to secure advance payments it has received from its customers. As of June 30, 2006, $47.5 million was contingently payable under letters of credit and bank guarantees. Of this amount, approximately $0.9 million and $0.4 million in letters of credit and bank guarantees, respectively, as of June 30, 2006, were issued under a previous credit agreement and by a bank agreement for the Company’s U.K. subsidiary, respectively, and are not considered when determining the availability under the Company’s revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $224.8 million of availability under its revolving line of credit.

On March 29, 2006, DRS Technologies Canada Company (DRS Canada) established a five-year senior secured term loan for approximately $9.9 million (C$11.5 million), maturing on April 1, 2011. The weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 6.0% as of June 30, 2006 (5.5% as of March 31, 2006). The carrying value of the Canadian term loan increased $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar compared to the U.S. dollar during that period.

Accrued interest expense at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 was $29.6 million and $27.3 million, respectively.

The Company’s indebtedness is more fully described in Note 8 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2006.

9.                 Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of shares from the assumed exercise of dilutive stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The following table presents the components of basic and diluted earnings per share:

At June 30, 2006 there were 22,500 options that were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on EPS. At June 30, 2005, all outstanding options are included in the diluted EPS calculation. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, DRS’s 2% Convertible Senior Notes had no impact on EPS because the average stock price during the period was below $59.70 per share, and the convertible notes, if converted, would require only cash at settlement.

14.   Cash Dividends on DRS Common Stock

On May 12, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per common share cash dividend, which was paid on June 30, 2006 to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2006. Cash dividends of $0.03 per common share were paid in each quarter of fiscal 2006. On August 3, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per common share cash dividend, payable on September 29, 2006 to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2006.

15.   Contingencies and Related Party Transactions

Contingencies   The Company is party to various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. In the Company’s opinion, the Company has adequate legal defenses for each of the actions and claims.

Various legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies arising in the normal course of the Company’s business, including certain matters described below, are pending against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could be ultimately decided, resolved or settled adversely. The Company has recorded accruals totaling $4.4 million and $4.3 million at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively, for losses related to those matters that it considers to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated (certain legal and environmental matters are discussed in detail below). Although the ultimate amount of liability at June 30, 2006 that may result from those matters for which the Company has recorded accruals is not ascertainable, the Company believes that any amounts exceeding the Company’s recorded accruals should not materially affect the Company’s financial condition or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the ultimate resolution of those matters could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations for a particular reporting period.

Some environmental laws, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (also known as CERCLA or the Superfund law) and similar state statutes, can impose liability for the entire cost of the clean up of contaminated sites upon any of the current or former site owners or operators (or upon parties who send waste to these sites), regardless of the lawfulness of the original activities that led to the contamination. In July 2000, prior to its acquisition by IDT, and prior to DRS’s acquisition of IDT, Tech-Sym Corporation received a Section 104(e) Request for Information from the National Park Service (NPS), pursuant to CERCLA, regarding a site known as the Orphan Mine site in the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, which is the subject of an NPS investigation regarding the presence of residual radioactive materials and contamination. A corporation of which Tech-Sym is an alleged successor operated this uranium mine from 1956 to 1967. In 1962, the land was sold to the U.S. government and the alleged predecessor of Tech-Sym was given a 25-year mining lease. In 1967, the mining rights were transferred to a third party by a trustee in bankruptcy, and the Company believes that the mine was operated by such third party until approximately 1969. The Company understands that there are other companies in the chain of title to the mining rights subsequent to Tech-Sym’s alleged predecessor, and, accordingly, that there are other potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for the environmental conditions at the site, including the U.S. government as owner, operator and arranger at the site. During its period of ownership, IDT retained a technical consultant in connection with this matter, who conducted a limited, preliminary review of site conditions and communicated with the NPS regarding actions that may be required at the site by all of the PRPs. On February 6, 2005, the NPS sent the

17




DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)

Company an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Work Plan (the “NPS EE/CA”) under CERCLA (the ‘‘CERCLA Letter’’) with regards to Operable Unit 1 of the Orphan Mine site. In the Company’s view, the NPS EE/CA included additional clean up not covered by CERCLA. The CERCLA Letter also requested (a) payment of $0.5 million for costs incurred by the NPS related to the Orphan Mine, and (b) a ‘‘good faith offer’’ to conduct the response activity outlined by the NPS and to reimburse the NPS for future costs. The NPS advised that a similar letter has been sent to another PRP. The Company initiated discussions with the other PRP and with NPS, and engaged a technical consultant to evaluate the existing documentation and the site in depth. As a result, on September 29, 2005, the technical consultant submitted to the NPS, on behalf of the Company and the other PRP, an alternative Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Work Plan (the “alternative EE/CA”) with regards to Operating Units 1 and 2 of the Orphan Mine Site.

On December 6, 2005, the PRPs and NPS met to discuss the alternative EE/CA. The meeting focused on the technical merits of the alternative EE/CA and certain differences between the alternative EE/CA and the NPS EE/CA provided with the CERCLA Letter. The differences included an alternative sampling technique and the inclusion of Operable Unit 2 (the lower mine area) in the alternative EE/CA. Since that meeting in late 2005, the parties have also discussed certain legal issues relating to the process for implementing an alternative EE/CA and entering into a settlement agreement that would memorialize the parties’ intent. The potential liability associated with implementation of the EE/CA can change substantially due to such factors as additional information on the nature or extent of contamination, methods of remediation that might be recommended or required, changes in the apportionment of costs among the responsible parties and other actions by governmental agencies or private parties.

In connection with the ESSI acquisition, the Company has been made aware of certain legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies, certain of which are described below.

In December 2004, ESSI was notified by the Enforcement Division of the SEC of the issuance of a formal order directing a private investigation captioned In the Matter of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. and was notified that the SEC had issued subpoenas to various individuals associated with ESSI to produce certain documents. The SEC staff also requested that ESSI produce certain documents in connection with the investigation. The subpoenas related to trading in ESSI stock around ESSI’s earnings releases in 2003 and to the adequacy of certain disclosures made by ESSI regarding related-party transactions in 2002 and 2003 involving insurance policies placed by ESSI through an insurance brokerage firm in which an ESSI director was a principal at the time of the transactions.

On or about September 23, 2005, the SEC staff advised ESSI’s counsel that it had issued a subpoena directed to ESSI and expanded its investigation to include ESSI’s disclosure of a November 2004 stop work order relating to ESSI’s Deployable Power Generation and Distribution Systems (“DPGDS”) program for the U.S. Air Force, and relating to trading in ESSI stock by certain individuals associated with ESSI.

In connection with the foregoing SEC investigation, ESSI and certain of its directors and officers have provided information and/or testimony to the SEC. On November 14, 2005, ESSI was informed by the Enforcement Division that one of ESSI’s former directors and officers, and subsequently a consultant to ESSI, had been issued a so-called Wells notice informing him that the staff of the SEC was considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against him in connection with the SEC’s investigation into trading in ESSI common stock in 2003.  A Wells notice provides prospective defendants with an opportunity to respond to the SEC staff members before the staff makes a formal recommendation

18




DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(Unaudited)

on whether the SEC should pursue disciplinary action against them. ESSI, itself, has not received a Wells notice and continues to cooperate with the investigation.

In January 2006, ESSI was informed that the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri was initiating an investigation into ESSI’s disclosure of the DPGDS stop-work order and into trading in ESSI stock by ESSI insiders which preceded such disclosure. The U.S. Attorney’s office advised ESSI that although it considered it to be a subject of its investigation, ESSI was not a target. In connection with this investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s office issued ESSI a subpoena requesting specified information, which ESSI continues to furnish.

In May 2006, the Company was advised that the Enforcement Division of the SEC and the U.S. Attorney’s office had each expanded its investigation to include possible “backdating” of the timing of option grants at ESSI prior to the time ESSI was acquired by DRS. As a part of its investigation, the SEC has issued subpoenas to certain officers and employees of ESSI to provide testimony and produce certain documents. Although ESSI continues to be a subject of the U.S. Attorney’s office’s investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s office has advised the Company that ESSI is not a target. Because the events being investigated occurred prior to the time of the Company’s acquisition of ESSI, the U.S. Attorney’s office has further advised the Company that it considers DRS to be a witness, not a subject or target of its investigation.

The Company is committed to full cooperation with regard to the foregoing investigations. The Company is unable to determine at this time either the timing of the SEC or U.S. Attorney’s office investigations or the impact, if any, which the investigations could have on the Company. A finding that ESSI had “backdated” option grants could result in the tax authorities disallowing all or part of related compensation deductions taken on ESSI’s previous income tax returns.

Related Party Transactions   The Company currently leases a building in Oakland, New Jersey, owned by LDR Realty Co., a partnership that was wholly owned in equal amounts by David E. Gross, DRS’s cofounder and the former President and Chief Technical Officer, and the late Leonard Newman, DRS’s cofounder, the former Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary and the father of Mark S. Newman, the Company’s current Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. The lease agreement with a monthly rental of $21.2 thousand expires on April 30, 2007. Following Leonard Newman’s death in November 1998, Mrs. Ruth Newman, the wife of Leonard Newman and the mother of Mark S. Newman, succeeded to Leonard Newman’s interest in LDR Realty Co.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, a law firm to which a member of our Board is of counsel, provided legal services to the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Fees paid to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $2.4 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively.

16.   Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Statements

As presented in Note 8, “Debt”, the Company has $350.0 million 65¤8% Senior Notes, $550.0 million 67¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes, $250.0 million 75¤8% Senior Subordinated Notes and $345.0 million 2% Convertible Senior Notes outstanding (collectively, the Notes). The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiaries). The foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries of DRS (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) do not guarantee the Notes.

17.   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140” (SFAS No. 155). SFAS No. 155 permits a fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would otherwise require bifurcation. This accounting standard will be effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2007. SFAS No. 155 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July of 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable, based on its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company currently recognizes a tax position if it is probable of being sustained. FIN 48 is effective beginning April 1, 2007 for DRS. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adopting FIN 48 will have on its operations and financial condition.

Item 2.                        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We begin the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) of DRS Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries, and a partnership of which DRS owns an 80% controlling interest (hereinafter, we, us, our, the Company or DRS) with a discussion of acquisition activity and a company overview, followed by summaries of defense industry considerations and other business considerations to provide context for understanding our business. This is followed by a discussion of the critical accounting estimates that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results, which we discuss under “Results of Operations.” We then provide an analysis of cash flows and discuss our financial commitments under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Contractual Obligations,” respectively. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained herein and in our March 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections. Such statements, including statements relating to the Company’s expectations for future financial performance, are not considered historical facts and are considered forward-looking statements under the federal securities laws. These statements may contain words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates” or similar expressions. These statements are not guarantees of our future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements and include, without limitation: the effect of our acquisition strategy on future operating results, including our ability to effectively integrate acquired companies into our existing operations; the uncertainty of acceptance of new products and successful bidding for new contracts; the effect of technological changes or obsolescence relating to our products and services; and the effects of government regulation or shifts in government priorities (including changes in priorities in response to the war on terrorism and to homeland security), as they may relate to our products and services; and other risks or uncertainties detailed in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligations to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Business Combinations

On January 31, 2006 we completed our acquisition of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. (ESSI) for $1.93 billion in cash and DRS common stock. In the transaction, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DRS was merged with ESSI, forming our third operating segment—the Sustainment Systems & Services (S3) Group. ESSI, formerly headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, is a supplier of integrated military electronics, support equipment and technical services focused on advanced sustainment and logistics support solutions for all branches of the U.S. armed services, major prime defense contractors, certain international militaries, homeland security forces and selected government and intelligence agencies. ESSI also produces specialized equipment and systems for commercial and industrial applications. The addition of ESSI is expected to contribute a significant base of systems, products and services focused on military force sustainment, technical and logistics support, integrated military electronics and field support equipment.

On June 27, 2005, we acquired WalkAbout Computer Systems, Inc. (WalkAbout) in a stock purchase transaction for approximately $13.8 million in cash, with additional consideration payable of up to $5.0 million upon achievement of certain revenue targets for a period of two and a half years. WalkAbout, located in West Palm Beach, Florida, is a manufacturer of several lines of rugged, mobile tablet PCs,

28




serving industrial, municipal, military and government markets. We believe that the acquisition of WalkAbout has enhanced our position in the tactical computer systems business by broadening our product offerings. WalkAbout is being managed as part of our Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) Group.

On April 15, 2005, we acquired Codem Systems, Inc. (Codem) in a stock purchase transaction for approximately $31.6 million in cash, with additional consideration payable of up to $5.0 million upon achievement of certain annual bookings targets for a period of three years. Codem, located in Merrimack, New Hampshire, is a provider of signals intelligence (SIGINT) systems, network interface modules and high-performance antenna control systems. Management believes that the addition of Codem has enhanced our existing intelligence product base. Codem is being managed as part of our C4I Group.

Company Overview

DRS is a supplier of defense electronic products, systems and military support services. We provide high technology products, services and support to all branches of the U.S. military, major aerospace and defense prime contractors, government intelligence agencies, international military forces and industrial markets. We operate in three principal operating segments, on the basis of products and services offered. Each operating segment is comprised of separate and distinct businesses. Our operating segments are: the Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) Group, the Surveillance and Reconnaissance (SR) Group, and the Sustainment Systems & Services Group (S3). All other operations, primarily our Corporate Headquarters are grouped in Other.

The C4I Group is comprised of the following business areas: Command, Control and Communications (C3), which includes naval display systems, ship communications systems, radar systems, technical support, electronic manufacturing and system integration services and secure voice and data communications; Power Systems, which includes naval and industrial power generation, conversion, propulsion, distribution and control systems; Intelligence Technologies, which includes signals intelligence, communications intelligence, data collection, processing and dissemination equipment; and Tactical Systems, which includes battle management tactical computer systems and peripherals product lines.

The SR Group is comprised of the following business areas: Reconnaissance, Surveillance & Target Acquisition (RSTA), which develops and produces electro-optical sighting, targeting and weapon sensor systems, aircraft weapons alignment systems and image intensification (I2) night vision, combat identification and laser aimers/illuminator products, and provides electronic manufacturing services; Training & Control Systems, which develops and produces air combat training, electronic warfare and network systems, high-speed digital data and imaging systems, unmanned vehicles and mission and flight recorders; and Test & Energy Management, which develops and produces electronic test, diagnostics and vehicle electronics.

The S3 Group is comprised of the following business areas: Sustainment Systems, which designs, engineers and manufactures integrated military electronics and other military support equipment, primarily for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) as well as related heat transfer and air handling equipment and power generation and distribution equipment for domestic commercial and industrial users; and Support Services, which provides engineering services, logistics and training services, advanced technology services, asset protection systems and services, telecommunication systems integration and information technology services, and vehicle armor kits for military, humanitarian, disaster recovery and emergency responder applications.

On April 1, 2006, DRS Technical Services, Inc. (TSI), an operating unit of the C4I Group, was consolidated into an operating unit of the S3 Group to achieve certain operating synergies. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 the operating unit recorded $5.2 million and $0.3 million in revenues and operating income, respectively, and $10.6 million of assets, which was considered immaterial for purposes

29




of restating prior year goodwill balances and segment information for both the C4I Group and the S3 Group.

Defense Industry Considerations and Business Strategy

The substantial majority of our revenue is generated pursuant to written contractual arrangements to design, develop, manufacture and/or modify complex products and to provide related engineering, technical and other services according to the specifications of the buyers (customers). Our primary “end-use” customer is the DoD. Our other customers include certain U.S. government intelligence agencies, foreign governments, commercial customers and other U.S. federal, state and local government agencies.

We believe markets for defense and related advanced technology systems and services for fiscal 2007 and beyond will continue to be affected by the global war on terrorism, through the continued need for military missions and efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The war on terrorism has focused greater attention on homeland security and better communication and interplay among local, state and federal government agencies and U.S. military services. We believe the United States overall defense posture continues to move toward a more joint-capabilities-based structure, which creates the ability for a more flexible response with greater force mobility, stronger space capabilities, enhanced missile defense, and improved information systems capability and security.

We believe DoD budgets have experienced increased focus on command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR), precision guided weapons, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), network-centric communications, Special Operations Forces (SOF) and missile defense. In addition, we believe the DoD philosophy has focused on a transformation strategy that balances modernization and recapitalization (or upgrading existing platforms), while enhancing readiness and joint operations. As a result, we believe defense budget program allocations continue to favor advanced information technologies related to command, control, communications, and computers, (C4) and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). Furthermore, the DoD’s emphasis on system interoperability, force multipliers and providing battlefield commanders with real-time data is increasing the electronic content of nearly all major military procurement and research programs.

Our strategy is designed to capitalize on the breadth of our technology and extensive expertise in order to meet the evolving needs of our customers. We intend to expand our share of existing programs and participate in new programs by leveraging the strong relationships that we have developed with the DoD, several other U.S. government agencies and all of the major U.S. defense prime contractors. We plan to continue to align our research and development, manufacturing and new business efforts to complement our customers’ requirements and to provide state-of-the-art products and services. We plan to maintain a diversified and broad business mix with limited reliance on any single program. We also intend to expand our technical services and support offerings to the DoD, thus diversifying our business beyond the historical investment accounts and into Operations and Maintenance funded activities.

A significant component of our strategy has been to enhance our existing product base through selective acquisitions that add new products and technologies in areas that complement our present business base. We intend to continue acquiring select publicly and privately held companies, as well as defense businesses of larger companies that (i) exhibit significant market position(s) in their business areas, (ii) offer products that complement and/or expand our product offerings, and (iii) display growing revenues and positive operating income and cash flow prospects.

Other Business Considerations

As a government contractor, we are subject to U.S. government oversight. The government may ask about and investigate our business practices and audit our compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Depending on the results of those audits and investigations, the government could make

30




claims against us. Under government procurement regulations and practices, an indictment of a government contractor could result in that contractor being fined and/or suspended from being able to bid on, or be awarded, new government contracts for a period of time. A conviction could result in debarment for a specific period of time. Similar government oversight exists in most other countries where we conduct business.

We are party to various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We believe we have adequate legal defenses for each of the actions and claims, and we believe that their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity (see Part II. Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings).

Our sales to international customers involve additional risks, such as exposure to currency fluctuations and changes in foreign economic and political environments. International transactions frequently involve increased financial and legal risks arising from stringent contractual terms and conditions, and widely differing legal systems, customs and practices in foreign countries. We expect that international sales, as a percentage of our overall sales, may increase in future years as a result of, among other factors, our growth strategy and continuing changes in the defense industry.

Our future operating results depend on our ability to successfully compete in a highly competitive industry that is characterized by rapid technological change and to find and effectively integrate acquired companies into our existing operations. Continuation of our recent revenue growth rate depends primarily on our ability to identify and acquire suitable acquisition targets. We continue to participate successfully in the defense industry consolidation through strategic business acquisitions and by streamlining our existing operations; however, we cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient funds available to us to continue investing in business acquisitions.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our March 31, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the change in our accounting for share-based payments described below, there were no significant changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2006. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition on contracts and contract estimates, valuation of goodwill and acquired intangible assets, pension plan and postretirement benefit plan obligations, accounting for income taxes, share-based payments and other management estimates.

Share-Based CompensationAs of April 1, 2006 we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 which requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements at their fair values. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective application method under which the provisions of SFAS 123R apply to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the adoption date. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating our stock price

31




volatility and employee stock option exercise behaviors. Our expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of our stock. The expected life of share-based awards is based on observed historical exercise patterns for different groups of employees and directors. As share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical experience.

Results of Operations

Our operating cycle is long-term and involves various types of production and service contracts and varying production delivery schedules. Accordingly, operating results of a particular period, or year-to-year comparisons of recorded revenues and earnings, may not be indicative of future operating results. Members of our senior management team regularly review key performance metrics and the status of operating initiatives within our business. These key performance indicators are primarily revenues, operating income and bookings. We review this information on a monthly basis through extensive operating segment reviews which include, among other operating issues, detailed discussions related to significant programs, proposed investments in new business opportunities or property, plant, and equipment and integration and cost reduction efforts. The following table presents a summary comparison of the key performance metrics, other significant financial metrics and significant liquidity metrics monitored by senior management of the Company.

Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2006, Compared with the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2005

Revenues and operating income   Consolidated revenues and operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 increased $291.8 million and $29.9 million, respectively, to $630.3 million and $65.0 million, respectively, as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase in revenues was largely driven by our January 31, 2006, acquisition of ESSI, as well as our June 27, 2005 acquisition of WalkAbout which contributed combined incremental (current quarter over corresponding prior-year quarter) revenues of $243.0 million. Also contributing to higher revenues were increased volume from embedded diagnostics, engineering and development for a certain naval infrared search and track program, and increased shipments of uncooled thermal weapons sights. Partially offsetting the overall increase in revenues were decreased shipments of combat display workstations, airborne electro-optical sighting systems and surveillance tuners.

32




The growth in operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, as compared with the corresponding prior year period, was due primarily to the overall increase in revenues, as well as favorable margins from a nuclear control panel program and rugged computers for the U.K. Ministry of Defence. Partially offsetting the overall increase in operating income were lower margins realized from our intelligence businesses and on certain rugged computer systems being sold in the final year of a multi-year contract at prices lower than previously. Our acquisitions of ESSI and WalkAbout contributed $24.5 million of combined incremental operating income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006. See Operating Segments discussion below for additional information.

As described in Note 4 to our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted SFAS 123R effective April 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method. As a result of the application of SFAS 123R in the three months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded share-based costs related to stock options and non-vested stock of $2.6 million, $1.8 million of which was charged to operating income. At June 30, 2006, there was $13.7 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.7 years. As of June 30, 2006, total unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested stock awards was $18.1 million and that amount is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.1 years.

As a result of applying SFAS 123R, our earnings before income taxes and net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $1.8 million and $1.1 million lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) No. 25. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 would have been $0.57 per share and $0.55 per share, respectively, if we had not adopted SFAS 123R, compared to reported amounts of $0.54 per basic and $0.52 per diluted share.

Bookings   We define bookings as the value of contract awards and orders received from the U.S. government, for which the U.S. government has appropriated funds, plus the value of contract awards and orders received from customers other than the U.S. government. Bookings for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 increased $261.6 million, versus the same period in the prior year, to $782.1 million. The primary drivers of the increase were our acquisitions of ESSI and WalkAbout which contributed $279.0 million of combined incremental bookings to the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Interest and related expenses   Interest and related expenses increased $17.7 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 as compared with the same period in the prior year, to $29.9 million. The increase in interest and related expenses is primarily the result of an increase in our borrowings outstanding for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with the corresponding period in the prior-year. Our average borrowings increased due to our January 31, 2006 issuance of $350 million of 65¤8% senior notes, $250 million issuance of 75¤8% senior subordinated notes, $300 million 2% senior convertible notes and the February 8, 2006 exercise of an overalloment option for an additional $45 million 2% senior convertible notes. In addition there was approximately $129.0 million outstanding against our revolving line of credit at June 30, 2006 (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below). We had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2005.

Income taxes   The provision for income taxes for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, reflected an effective income tax rate of approximately 38.9%, as compared with 42.0% in the same period last year. Our effective tax rate declined primarily due to the ESSI acquisition as well as a favorable tax adjustment of approximately $0.4 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2006. We anticipate that our effective income tax rate for the year ended March 31, 2007, will approximate 40.0%.

Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2006, Compared with the Three-Month Period Ended June 30, 2005

C4I Group   Revenues increased $3.5 million, or 1.8%, to $194.0 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. Operating income increased $0.4 million, or 2.3%, to $19.9 million. The increase in revenue was principally attributable to higher engineering and development revenue from a naval infrared search and track program, increased volume for border security surveillance systems, power conversion equipment for the U.S. Navy and increased volume from a cable reset and refurbishment program. Our acquisition of WalkAbout contributed incremental (current quarter over corresponding prior-year quarter) revenues of $5.3 million to the three-months ended June 30, 2006. Largely offsetting our increases in revenues were decreased shipments of combat display workstations and surveillance tuners.

The increase in operating income for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was driven primarily by the overall increase in revenues, as well as favorable margins on a certain nuclear control cabinet program and $0.2 million in incremental operating income from WalkAbout. Partially offsetting our overall higher operating income were lower margins in our intelligence businesses and on certain rugged computer systems being sold in the final phase of a multi-year contract at prices lower than previously.

SR Group   Revenues increased $45.0 million, or 30.4%, to $193.0 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with the corresponding prior-year period. Operating income increased $5.0 million, or 31.4%, to $20.7 million. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased demand for embedded diagnostics, increased shipments of uncooled thermal weapons sights and higher sales volume from air combat training systems and ground-based target acquisition and missile control subsystems. Partially offsetting the overall increase in revenues were lower volume from airborne electro-optical sighting systems products and services, unmanned threat emitter systems and infrared assemblies for an anti-tank missile system.

34




The increase in operating income for the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with the corresponding period in the prior year was largely due to higher overall revenues.

S3 Group   The S3 Group, which consists of the operating units acquired from our acquisition of ESSI on January 31, 2006, recorded revenues of $243.3 million and operating income of $24.7 million. The primary revenue and operating income drivers in the group were demand for equipment and services provided under the Rapid Response (R2) program, add-on commercial vehicle armor kits, heavy equipment transport refurbishment for the U.S. Army and mobile power generation and distribution equipment for the U.S. Air Force.

Other   The operating loss in Other consists of certain non-allocable general and administrative expenses at DRS corporate.

Operating activities   During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we used $25.9 million of operating cash flow, $11.4 million more than the $14.5 million of operating cash flow used in the same period in the prior year. Net earnings increased $7.2 million to $21.3 million. Non-cash adjustments to reconcile net earnings to cash flows from operating activities increased $12.6 million over the corresponding prior fiscal period, driven primarily by increased depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of the intangible assets related to our acquisition of ESSI, and increased share-based compensation due to the adoption of SFAS 123R.

Changes in assets and liabilities, net of effects from business combinations, used $71.8 million in cash for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Accounts payable used $30.9 million of cash during the period as payments required to build inventories exceeded related purchases. Accounts receivable used $20.9 million of cash as net billings exceeded collections. Inventories used $11.3 million of cash as inventories increased in certain of our electro-optical infrared sighting and targeting businesses, offset, in part, by decreased inventories within certain tactical computing businesses. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities used $11.6 million of cash. Net increases in both customer advances and net prepaid expenses and other current assets generated $9.6 million and used $6.3 million in cash, respectively.

Investing activities   We paid $13.1 million for capital improvements during the three-months ended June 30, 2006, as compared with $6.3 million in the corresponding prior-year period. We expect our capital expenditures to be in the range of $50.0 million to $60.0 million in fiscal 2007, as we continue to upgrade our facilities and integrate recent acquisitions into our existing businesses. Payments pursuant to business combinations, net of cash acquired, totaled $7.7 million driven by $7.1 million of additional consideration paid to satisfy an earn-out obligation related to our acquisition of DKD, Inc. (now operating as a component of DRS Sensors & Targeting Systems, Inc.), and $0.6 million in ESSI acquisition-related payments.

Financing activities   For the three months ended June 30, 2006, financing activities generated $89.4 million in cash. Net borrowings on our revolving line of credit were $89.0 million. We also received $0.9 million from the exercise of stock options and paid $1.2 million in cash dividends.

Simultaneously with the closing of our acquisition of ESSI, on January 31, 2006 we entered into an amended and restated credit facility for up to an aggregate amount of $675.0 million with a syndicate of lenders (the Credit Facility), replacing our previously existing credit facility. The Credit Facility consists of

35




a $400.0 million senior secured revolving line of credit and a $275.0 million senior secured term loan. We are permitted, on no more than two occasions, to increase the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility by up to $250.0 million, subject to certain restrictions. Any increase in the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility may be borrowed in the form of either additional term loans or available amounts under the revolving line of credit. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of DRS’s domestic subsidiaries. In addition, it is collateralized by liens on substantially all of the assets of our subsidiary guarantors’ and certain of DRS’s other subsidiaries’ assets and by a pledge of a portion of certain of our non-guarantor subsidiaries’ capital stock.

From time to time, we enter into standby letters-of-credit and bank guarantee agreements with financial institutions and customers, primarily relating to the guarantee of its future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services and to secure advance payments we have received from our customers. As of June 30, 2006, $47.5 million was contingently payable under letters of credit and bank guarantees. Of this amount, approximately $0.9 million and $0.4 million in letters of credit and bank guarantees, respectively, as of June 30, 2006, were issued under a previous credit agreement and by a bank agreement for our U.K. subsidiary, respectively, and are not considered when determining the availability under our revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2006 approximately $38.3 million and $0.4 million in letters of credit and bank guarantees, respectively, are due within one year. At June 30, 2006, we had $224.8 million of availability under our revolving line of credit.

On March 29, 2006, DRS Technologies Canada Company (DRS Canada) established a five-year senior secured term loan for approximately $9.9 million (C$11.5 million), maturing on April 1, 2011. The proceeds of the loan were utilized to permit repatriation of certain amounts from Canada to the U.S. which were subject to more favorable tax treatment under the Jobs Act. The debt is collateralized by the assets of DRS Canada and guaranteed by DRS Technologies, Inc. We are subject to the same financial covenants under the DRS Canada loan, as we are under the Credit Facility, and DRS Canada is subject to other non-financial covenants that are similar to those described for the Credit Facility.

On October 30, 2003, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 67¤8% senior subordinated notes, due November 1, 2013 (the October 2003 Notes). The net proceeds of the October 2003 Notes, together with a portion of our available cash and initial borrowings under the then existing credit facility, were used to fund the acquisition of Integrated Defense Technologies, Inc. (IDT), repay certain of DRS’s and IDT’s outstanding indebtedness, and pay related fees and expenses. The October 2003 Notes were issued under an indenture with The Bank of New York. Subject to a number of exceptions, the indenture restricts our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur more debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments, repurchase stock, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into sale lease-back transactions, merge or consolidate, and transfer or sell assets. The October 2003 Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by DRS’s current and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. The foreign subsidiaries and certain domestic subsidiaries of DRS do not guarantee the October 2003 Notes.

On December 23, 2004, we issued an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 67¤8% senior subordinated notes, due November 2013 (December 2004 Notes). The December 2004 Notes were offered as additional debt securities under the Company’s indenture with the Bank of New York with identical terms and the same guarantors as the October 2003 Notes.

On January 31, 2006, in connection with the acquisition of ESSI, we issued $900.0 million of new debt securities, including $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 65¤8% senior notes due 2016, $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 75¤8% senior subordinated notes due 2018 (collectively called the January 2006 Notes) and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (Convertible Notes). On February 8, 2006, we sold an additional $45.0 million of Convertible Notes pursuant to an overallotment option exercised by the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes. The net proceeds of the January 2006 Notes and the Convertible Notes, together with a portion of the

36




Company’s available cash and initial borrowings under the Credit Facility, were used to fund the ESSI acquisition, repay certain of ESSI’s outstanding indebtedness, and pay related fees and expenses. The January 2006 Notes are unsecured. The 75¤8% senior subordinated notes rank behind the Credit Facility, the 65¤8% senior notes and the Convertible Notes, other than trade payables and is pari passu with the 67¤8% senior subordinated notes.

The January 2006 Notes were issued under indentures with The Bank of New York. Subject to a number of exceptions, the indentures restrict our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur more debt, pay dividends and make distributions, make certain investments, repurchase stock, create liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into sale lease-back transactions, merge or consolidate, and transfer or sell assets. The January 2006 Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries.

Accrued interest expense at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 was approximately $29.6 million and $27.3 million, respectively.

Based upon our anticipated level of future operations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents balances and our cash generated from operating activities, together with available borrowings under our amended and restated senior secured credit facility, will be adequate to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, commitments, research and development expenditures, contingent purchase prices, program and other discretionary investments, and interest and principal payments for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flow at current levels. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or obtain additional financing. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments or to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the defense industry and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to enable us to service our indebtedness, make necessary capital expenditures or to make discretionary investments.

Equity   On May 12, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per common share cash dividend, which was paid on June 30, 2006 to stockholders of record as of June 15, 2006. On August 3, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $0.03 per common share cash dividend, payable on September 29, 2006 to stockholders of record as of September 15, 2006.

Free Cash Flow   Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 was a deficit of $39.0 million, or $18.1 million less than the deficit of $20.9 million of free cash flow in the corresponding period in the prior year. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional discussion and information.

EBITDA   Earnings before net interest and related expenses (primarily the amortization and write-off of debt premium and issuance costs), income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 was $83.6 million, or $38.7 million greater than the $44.9 million of EBITDA in the corresponding period in the prior year. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for additional discussion and information.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements   We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Contractual Obligations   Our contractual obligations and commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness, future minimum operating lease obligations, acquisition earn-outs and purchase obligations. The disclosures relating to our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 have not materially changed since we filed that report.

37




Backlog   Funded backlog represents products or services that our customers have committed by contract to purchase from us. Due to the general nature of defense procurement and contracting, the operating cycle for our military business typically has been long term. Military backlog currently consists of various production and engineering development contracts with varying delivery schedules and project timetables. Our backlog also includes a significant amount of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based systems for the military, which have shorter delivery times. Accordingly, revenues for a particular period, or year-to-year comparisons of reported revenues and related backlog positions may not be indicative of future results. Backlog at June 30, 2006 was $2.56 billion, as compared with $2.40 billion at March 31, 2006. We booked $782.1 million in new orders for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006.

Internal Research and Development   In addition to customer-sponsored research and development, we also engage in internal research and development. These expenditures reflect our continued investment in new technology and diversification of our products. Expenditures for internal research and development for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $11.0 million and $9.2 million, respectively.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures   Certain disclosures in this document include “non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures.” A non-GAAP financial measure is defined as a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Earnings, or Statements of Cash Flows of the Company. The components of EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA and “free cash flow” with the most directly comparable GAAP measure follows:

(A)       We define EBITDA as net earnings before net interest and related expenses (principally amortization and write-off of debt premium and issuance costs), income taxes, depreciation and amortization. The table above presents the components of EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash (used in) provided by operating activities. EBITDA is presented as additional information because we believe it to be a useful indicator of our debt capacity and our ability to service our debt. EBITDA is not a substitute for operating income, net earnings or cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA is not a complete net cash flow measure because

38




EBITDA is a measure of liquidity that does not reflect cash flows from discontinued operations, and does not include reductions for cash payments for an entity’s obligation to service its debt, fund its working capital, business acquisitions, and capital expenditures and pay its income taxes. Rather, EBITDA is one potential indicator of an entity’s ability to fund these cash requirements. EBITDA also is not a complete measure of an entity’s profitability because it does not include costs and expenses for depreciation and amortization, interest and related expenses and income taxes, and it also does not include the results of operations of discontinued operations. EBITDA, as we define it, may differ from similarly named measures used by other entities and, consequently, could be misleading unless all entities calculate and define EBITDA in the same manner.

(B)        Free cash flow is defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We disclose free cash flow (deficit) because we believe that it is useful in evaluating our financial performance and measuring cash flows generated that are available for investing and financing activities. We believe that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to free cash flow is net cash (used in) provided by operating activities. Free cash flow represents cash generated after paying for interest on borrowings, income taxes, capital expenditures and changes in working capital, but before repaying outstanding debt, investing cash to acquire businesses and making other strategic investments, and it does not reflect cash flows of discontinued operations. Thus, key assumptions underlying free cash flow are that we will be able to refinance our existing debt when it matures with new debt and that we will be able to finance any new acquisitions we make by raising new debt or equity capital. We also use free cash flow as a performance measure as a component of our management incentive compensation program. Free cash flow, as we define it, may differ from similarly named measures used by other entities and, consequently, could be misleading unless all entities calculate and define free cash flow in the same manner.

Item 3.                        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk

See Part II, Item 7A, “Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 for a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risks.

Item 4.                        Controls and Procedures

(a)           Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

(b)          Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The addition of the business units added through the acquisition of ESSI on January 31, 2006, resulted in a material change in internal control over financial reporting. The acquired ESSI business units utilize separate information and accounting systems and processes. With the exception of the change in internal control over financial reporting as we integrate the acquired ESSI business units, there have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.                        Legal Proceedings

We are party to various legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. In our opinion, we have adequate legal defenses for each of the actions and claims.

Various legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies arising in the normal course of our business, including certain matters described below, are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters could be ultimately decided, resolved or settled adversely. We have recorded accruals totaling $4.4 million and $4.3 million at June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively, for losses related to those matters that it considers to be probable and that can be reasonably estimated (certain legal and environmental matters are discussed in detail below). Although the ultimate amount of liability at June 30, 2006 that may result from those matters for which we have recorded accruals is not ascertainable, we believe that any amounts exceeding our recorded accruals should not materially affect our financial condition or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the ultimate resolution of those matters could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations for a particular reporting period.

Some environmental laws, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (also known as CERCLA or the Superfund law) and similar state statutes, can impose liability for the entire cost of the clean up of contaminated sites upon any of the current or former site owners or operators (or upon parties who send waste to these sites), regardless of the lawfulness of the original activities that led to the contamination. In July 2000, prior to its acquisition by IDT, and prior to DRS’s acquisition of IDT, Tech-Sym Corporation received a Section 104(e) Request for Information from the National Park Service (NPS), pursuant to CERCLA, regarding a site known as the Orphan Mine site in the Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona, which is the subject of an NPS investigation regarding the presence of residual radioactive materials and contamination. A corporation of which Tech-Sym is an alleged successor operated this uranium mine from 1956 to 1967. In 1962, the land was sold to the U.S. government and the alleged predecessor of Tech-Sym was given a 25-year mining lease. In 1967, the mining rights were transferred to a third party by a trustee in bankruptcy, and we believe that the mine was operated by such third party until approximately 1969. We  understand that there are other companies in the chain of title to the mining rights subsequent to Tech-Sym’s alleged predecessor, and, accordingly, that there are other potentially responsible parties (PRPs) for the environmental conditions at the site, including the U.S. government as owner, operator and arranger at the site. During its period of ownership, IDT retained a technical consultant in connection with this matter, who conducted a limited, preliminary review of site conditions and communicated with the NPS regarding actions that may be required at the site by all of the PRPs. On February 6, 2005, the NPS sent us an Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Work Plan (the “NPS EE/CA”) under CERCLA (the ‘‘CERCLA Letter’’) with regards to Operable Unit 1 of the Orphan Mine site. In our view, the NPS EE/CA included additional clean up not covered by CERCLA. The CERCLA Letter also requested (a) payment of $0.5 million for costs incurred by the NPS related to the Orphan Mine, and (b) a ‘‘good faith offer’’ to conduct the response activity outlined by the NPS and to reimburse the NPS for future costs. The NPS advised that a similar letter has been sent to another PRP. We initiated discussions with the other PRP and with NPS, and engaged a technical consultant to evaluate the existing documentation and the site in depth. As a result, on September 29, 2005, the technical consultant submitted to the NPS, on behalf of us and the other PRP, an alternative Engineering Evaluation/Cost Analysis Work Plan (the “alternative EE/CA”) with regards to Operating Units 1 and 2 of the Orphan Mine Site.

On December 6, 2005, the PRPs and NPS met to discuss the alternative EE/CA. The meeting focused on the technical merits of the alternative EE/CA and certain differences between the alternative EE/CA and the NPS EE/CA provided with the CERCLA Letter. The differences included an alternative sampling

40




technique and the inclusion of Operable Unit 2 (the lower mine area) in the alternative EE/CA. Since that meeting in late 2005, the parties have also discussed certain legal issues relating to the process for implementing an alternative EE/CA and entering into a settlement agreement that would memorialize the parties’ intent. The potential liability associated with implementation of the EE/CA can change substantially due to such factors as additional information on the nature or extent of contamination, methods of remediation that might be recommended or required, changes in the apportionment of costs among the responsible parties and other actions by governmental agencies or private parties.

In connection with the ESSI acquisition, we have been made aware of certain legal actions, claims, assessments and other contingencies, certain of which are described below.

In December 2004, ESSI was notified by the Enforcement Division of the SEC of the issuance of a formal order directing a private investigation captioned In the Matter of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. and was notified that the SEC had issued subpoenas to various individuals associated with ESSI to produce certain documents. The SEC staff also requested that ESSI produce certain documents in connection with the investigation. The subpoenas related to trading in ESSI stock around ESSI’s earnings releases in 2003 and to the adequacy of certain disclosures made by ESSI regarding related-party transactions in 2002 and 2003 involving insurance policies placed by ESSI through an insurance brokerage firm in which an ESSI director was a principal at the time of the transactions.

On or about September 23, 2005, the SEC staff advised ESSI’s counsel that it had issued a subpoena directed to ESSI and expanded its investigation to include ESSI’s disclosure of a November 2004 stop work order relating to ESSI’s Deployable Power Generation and Distribution Systems (“DPGDS”) program for the U.S. Air Force, and relating to trading in ESSI stock by certain individuals associated with ESSI.

In connection with the foregoing SEC investigation, ESSI and certain of its directors and officers have provided information and/or testimony to the SEC. On November 14, 2005, ESSI was informed by the Enforcement Division that one of ESSI’s former directors and officers, and subsequently a consultant to ESSI, had been issued a so-called Wells notice informing him that the staff of the SEC was considering recommending that the SEC bring a civil injunctive action against him in connection with the SEC’s investigation into trading in ESSI common stock in 2003. A Wells notice provides prospective defendants with an opportunity to respond to the SEC staff members before the staff makes a formal recommendation on whether the SEC should pursue disciplinary action against them. ESSI, itself, has not received a Wells notice and continues to cooperate with the investigation.

In January 2006, ESSI was informed that the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri was initiating an investigation into ESSI’s disclosure of the DPGDS stop-work order and into trading in ESSI stock by ESSI insiders which preceded such disclosure. The U.S. Attorney’s office advised ESSI that although it considered it to be a subject of its investigation, ESSI was not a target. In connection with this investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s office issued ESSI a subpoena requesting specified information, which ESSI continues to furnish.

In May 2006, we were advised that the Enforcement Division of the SEC and the U.S. Attorney’s office had each expanded its investigation to include possible “backdating” of the timing of option grants at ESSI prior to the time ESSI was acquired by DRS.  As part of its investigation, the SEC has issued subpoenas to certain officers and employees of ESSI to provide testimony and produce certain documents. Although ESSI continues to be a subject of the U.S. Attorney’s office’s investigation, the U.S. Attorney’s office has advised us that ESSI is not a target. Because the events being investigated occurred prior to the time of our acquisition of ESSI, the U.S. Attorney’s office has further advised us that it considers DRS to be a witness, not a subject or target of its investigation.

We are committed to full cooperation with regard to the foregoing investigations. We are unable to determine at this time either the timing of the SEC or U.S. Attorney’s office investigations or the impact, if

41




any, which the investigations could have on us. A finding that ESSI had “backdated” option grants could result in tax authorities disallowing all or part of related compensation deductions taken on ESSI’s previous income tax returns.

Item 1.A.             Risk Factors

In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The maximum number of shares of Company Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan (the “Share Limit”) shall be 4,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein); provided that each share issued under the Plan pursuant to a Full Value Award shall reduce the Share Limit by 2 shares for every one share actually issued in connection with such Incentive Award.  (For example, if 100 shares of Restricted Stock are granted under this Plan, 200 shares shall reduce the Share Limit in connection with that Incentive Award).  Such shares may be authorized but unissued Company Stock or shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise.  The Committee may direct that any stock certificate evidencing shares issued pursuant to the Plan shall bear a legend setting forth such restrictions on transferability as may apply to such shares pursuant to the Plan.  The following will not reduce the number of shares of Company Stock available under the Plan;  (1) the grant of a Tandem SAR, a Stand-Alone SAR or Restricted Stock Unit, (2) the exchange by a Participant of any Tandem SAR, Stand-Alone SAR or Restricted Stock Unit for a cash payment by the Company, or (3) the grant of any Incentive Award made in connection with an acquisition and in substitution of awards otherwise cancelled in connection with such acquisition.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary:  (A) shares of Company Stock tendered in payment of the exercise price of an Option shall not be added to the maximum share limitations described above; (B) shares of Company Stock withheld by the Company to satisfy the tax withholding obligations shall not be added to the maximum share limitations described above; and (C) all shares of Company Stock covered by a Stand-Alone SAR or Tandem SAR, to the extent that such Stand-Alone SAR or Tandem SAR is exercised and whether or not shares of Company Stock are actually issued upon exercise of the right, shall be considered issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan.  Upon the exercise of any Incentive Award granted in tandem with any other Incentive Awards, such related Incentive Awards shall be cancelled to the extent of the number of shares of Company Stock as to which the Incentive Award is exercised.

(b)                                 Individual Limitation.

The total number of shares of Company Stock subject to Incentive Awards (including Incentive Awards which may be payable in cash but denominated as shares of Company Stock, i.e., Stand-Alone SARs and Restricted Stock Units), granted to any employee during any tax year of the Company, shall not exceed 200,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided herein).  Determinations under the preceding sentence shall be made in a manner that is consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code.

(c)                                  Adjustment for Change in Capitalization.

If the Committee should determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Company Stock, or other property), recapitalization, Company Stock split, reverse Company Stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or share exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Company Stock such that an adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants under the Plan, then the Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it deems necessary or appropriate to any or all of (1) the number and kind of shares of Company Stock which may thereafter be issued in connection with Incentive Awards, (2) the number and kind of shares of Company Stock issued or issuable in respect of outstanding Incentive Awards, (3) the




exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any Incentive Award, and (4) the maximum number of shares subject to Incentive Awards which may be awarded to any employee during any tax year of the Company; provided that, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Section 424 of the Code, and provided further that no such adjustment shall cause any Award hereunder which is or becomes subject to Section 409A of the Code to fail to comply with the requirements of such section.

(d)                                  Re-Use of Shares.

Except as provided below, any shares subject to an Incentive Award, including an Incentive Award granted under the 1996 Plan, that remain unissued upon the cancellation, surrender, exchange or termination of such award for any reason whatsoever and any forfeited shares of Restricted Stock, including any forfeited shares of Restricted Stock granted under the 1996 Plan, shall again become available for Incentive Awards.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of Company Stock that are exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with any Incentive Award under the Plan, as well as any shares of Company Stock exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any Incentive Award under the Plan, shall not be available for subsequent Incentive Awards under the Plan.  Upon the exercise of any Incentive Award granted in tandem with any other Incentive Awards, such related Awards shall be cancelled to the extent of the number of shares of Company Stock as to which the Incentive Award is exercised and such number of shares shall no longer be available for Incentive Awards under the Plan.




4.     Administration of the Plan.

The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have the authority in its sole discretion, subject to and not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, to administer the Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to grant Incentive Awards; to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which Incentive Awards shall be granted; to determine the type and number of Incentive Awards to be granted, the number of shares of Stock to which an Award may relate and the terms, conditions, restrictions and performance criteria relating to any Incentive Award; to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Incentive Award may be settled, cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered; to make adjustments in the performance goals in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company (to the extent not inconsistent with Section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable), or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles; to construe and interpret the Plan and any Incentive Award; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of Agreements; and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not take any action with respect to an Incentive Award that would be treated, for accounting purposes, as a “repricing” of such Incentive Award unless such action is approved by the Company’s shareholders.

The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, without amendment to the Plan, upon the death, Disability, retirement or termination by the Company without Cause of any Participant (a) accelerate the date on which any Option or Stand-Alone SAR granted to such Participant under the Plan becomes exercisable, waive or amend the operation of Plan provisions respecting exercise after termination of employment or otherwise adjust any of the terms of such Option or Stand-Alone SAR, and (b) accelerate the Vesting Date or Issue Date, or waive any condition imposed hereunder, with respect to any share of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit or other Incentive Award granted to such Participant or otherwise adjust any of the terms applicable to any such Incentive Award.

No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action, omission or determination relating to the Plan, and the Company shall indemnify (to the extent permitted under Delaware law and the certificate of incorporation of the Company) and hold harmless each member of the Committee and each other director or employee of the Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan has been delegated against any cost or expense (including counsel fees) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Committee) arising out of any action, omission or determination relating to the Plan, unless, in either case, such action, omission or determination was taken or made by such member, director or employee in bad faith and without reasonable belief that it was in the best interests of the Company.




5.     Eligibility.

Incentive Awards pursuant to the Plan may be granted to employees of the Company, including officers of the Company, whether or not they are directors of DRS, consultants and Non-Employee Directors of the Company.

The Committee may grant Options, Tandem SARs, Stand-Alone SARs, shares of Restricted Stock, Stock Bonuses, Restricted Stock Units and Other Awards in such amounts and with such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan.  Non-Qualified Stock Options shall be granted to Non-Employee Directors in accordance with Section 14.

Each Incentive Award granted under the Plan (except an unconditional Stock Bonus) shall be evidenced by an Agreement which shall contain such provisions as the Committee may in its sole discretion deem necessary or desirable. By accepting an Incentive Award, a Participant thereby agrees that the award shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable Agreement.

7.     Options.

(a)                                  Identification of Options.

Each Option shall be clearly identified in the applicable Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

(b)                                  Exercise Price.

Each Agreement with respect to an Option shall set forth the amount (the ”option exercise price”) payable by the grantee to the Company upon exercise of the Option.  The option exercise price per share shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that the option exercise price shall in no event be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date the Option is granted.

(c)                                  Term and Exercise of Options.

(i)             Unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise, an Option shall become cumulatively exercisable as to 25 percent of the shares covered thereby on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant.  The Committee shall determine the expiration date of each Option; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant.  Unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise, no Option shall be exercisable prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant.

(ii)          An Option may be exercised for all or any portion of the shares as to which it is exercisable, provided that no Partial Exercise of an Option shall be for an aggregate exercise price of less than $1,000.  The Partial Exercise of an Option shall not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion thereof.

(iii)       An Option shall be exercised in a manner prescribed by the Company.  Payment for




shares of Company Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be made on the effective date of such exercise by one or a combination of the following means: (i) by personal check, certified check, bank cashier’s check or wire transfer; (ii) subject to the approval of the Committee, in shares of Company Stock owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value on the effective date of such exercise; or (iii) subject to the approval of the Committee, by such other provision as the Committee may from time to time authorize.  Any payment in shares of Company Stock shall be effected by (A) the delivery of such shares to the Secretary of DRS, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank, together with any other documents and evidences as the Secretary of DRS shall require, or (B) such other manner prescribed by the Company.

(iv)      Reasonably promptly after the exercise of an Option, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, DRS, in its sole discretion, may either (i) issue a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Participant to whom such shares were granted, evidencing such shares or (ii) establish and maintain, or cause a representative to establish and maintain, an account to record the Company Stock granted to such Participant and transactions and events affecting such stock.  No adjustment to any Option shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

(d)                                  Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.

(i)             To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Company Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of the Company (or any Subsidiary) shall exceed $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

(ii)                      No Incentive Stock Option may be granted to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant, such individual owns (or is attributed to own by virtue of the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary unless (i) the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option is at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted and (ii) such Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

(e)                                  Effect of Termination of Employment.

(i)             Unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment of a Participant with the Company shall terminate for any reason other than Cause, Disability or death, (i) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the date that is three months after such termination, on which date they shall expire, and (ii) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at 5:00 pm New York City time on the date of such termination. The three-month period described in this Section 7(e)(1) shall be extended to one year from the date of such termination in




the event of the Participant’s death during such three-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

(ii)          Unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise, in the event that the employment of a Participant with the Company shall terminate on account of the Disability or death of the Participant, (i) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the first anniversary of such termination, on which date they shall expire, and (ii) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of business on the date of such termination; provided, however, that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

(iii)       In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire at the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

(f)                                    Acceleration of Exercise Date Upon Change in Control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each Option granted under the Plan and outstanding at such time shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable and shall remain exercisable until its expiration, termination or cancellation unless such Options are converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor with an award of equivalent economic value containing equivalent terms.  With respect to any converted, assumed, or replaced Options, if a Participant’s employment is subsequently terminated without Cause or for Good Reason within 24 months of the Change in Control, such Options shall become fully and immediately vested and exercisable upon the date of the Participant’s termination.

8.     Tandem SARs.

The Committee may grant in connection with any Option granted hereunder, except a Non-Qualified Stock Option granted to a Non-Employee Director pursuant to Section 14, one or more Tandem SARs relating to a number of shares of Company Stock less than or equal to the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the related Option. A Tandem SAR granted in connection with an Option must be granted at the same time that such Option is granted; provided, however, that a Tandem SAR granted in connection with a Non-Qualified Stock Option may be granted subsequent to the time that such Non-Qualified Stock Option is granted.

(a)                                  Benefit Upon Exercise.

The exercise of a Tandem SAR with respect to any number of shares of Company Stock shall entitle the Participant to a cash payment, for each such share, equal to the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the exercise date over (2) the option exercise price of the related Option. Such payment shall be made as soon as practicable after the effective date of  such exercise.

(b)                                  Term and Exercise of Tandem SAR.

(i)             A Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only if and to the extent that its related Option




is exercisable.

(ii)          The exercise of a Tandem SAR with respect to a number of shares of Company Stock shall cause the immediate and automatic cancellation of its related Option with respect to an equal number of shares.  The exercise of an Option, or the cancellation, termination or expiration of an Option (other than pursuant to this Section 8(b)(2)), with respect to a number of shares of Company Stock shall cause the automatic and immediate cancellation of any related Tandem SARs to the extent of the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Option which is so exercised, cancelled, terminated or expired.

(iii)       A Tandem SAR may be exercised for all or any portion of the shares as to which it is exercisable; provided, that no Partial Exercise of a Tandem SAR shall be for an aggregate exercise price of less than $1,000.

(iv)      No Tandem SAR shall be assignable or transferable otherwise than together with its related Option.

(v)         A Tandem SAR shall be exercised by delivering notice to DRS’s principal office, to the attention of its Secretary. Such notice shall be accompanied by the applicable Agreement, shall specify the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which the Tandem SAR is being exercised and the effective date of the proposed exercise and shall be signed by the Participant or other person then having the right to exercise the Option to which the Tandem SAR is related.

9.     Stand-Alone SARs.

(a)                                  Exercise Price.

The exercise price per share of a Stand-Alone SAR shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but shall in no event be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date of grant.

(b)                                  Benefit Upon Exercise.

The exercise of a Stand-Alone SAR with respect to any number of shares of Company Stock shall entitle the Participant to a payment, for each such share, equal to the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the exercise date over (2) the exercise price of the Stand-Alone SAR.  Such payments shall be made as soon as practicable after such exercise, in cash and/or shares of Company Stock, as determined by the Committee.  No adjustment shall be made to any Stand-Alone SAR for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date shares of Company Stock are issued.

(c)                                  Term and Exercise of Stand-Alone SARs.

(i)             Unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise, a Stand-Alone SAR shall become cumulatively exercisable as to 25 percent of the shares covered thereby on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. The Committee shall determine the expiration date of each Stand-Alone SAR. Unless the applicable Agreement provides otherwise, no Stand-Alone SAR shall be exercisable prior to the first anniversary of the date of grant.




(ii)          A Stand-Alone SAR may be exercised for all or any portion of the shares as to which it is exercisable; provided, that no Partial Exercise of a Stand-Alone SAR shall be for an aggregate exercise price of less than $1,000.

(iii)       A Stand-Alone SAR shall be exercised by delivering notice to DRS’s principal office, to the attention of its Secretary.  Such notice shall be accompanied by the applicable Agreement, shall specify the number of shares of Company Stock with respect to which the Stand-Alone SAR is being exercised, and the effective date of the proposed exercise, and shall be signed by the Participant.

(d)                                  Effect of Termination of Employment.

The provisions set forth in Section 7(e) with respect to the exercise of Options following termination of employment shall apply as well to such exercise of Stand-Alone SARs.

(e)                                  Acceleration of Exercise Date Upon Change in Control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control any Stand-Alone SAR granted under the Plan and outstanding at such time shall become fully and immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable until its expiration, termination or cancellation unless such Stand-Alone SARs are converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor with an award of equivalent economic value containing equivalent terms.  With respect to any converted, assumed, or replaced Stand-Alone SARs, if a Participant’s employment is subsequently terminated without Cause or for Good Reason within 24 months of the Change in Control, such Stand-Alone SARs shall become fully and immediately vested upon the date of the Participant’s termination.

10.  Restricted Stock.

(a)                                  Issue Date and Vesting Date.

At the time of the grant of shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall establish an Issue Date or Issue Dates and a Vesting Date or Vesting Dates with respect to such shares.  The Committee may divide such shares into classes and assign a different Issue Date and/or Vesting Date for each class.  If the grantee is employed by the Company on an Issue Date (which may be the date of grant), the specified number of shares of Restricted Stock shall be issued in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(e). Provided that all conditions to the vesting of a share of Restricted Stock imposed pursuant to Section 10(b) are satisfied, and except as provided in Section 10(g), upon the occurrence of the Vesting Date with respect to a share of Restricted Stock, such share shall vest and the restrictions of Section 10(c) shall lapse.

(b)                                  Conditions to Vesting.

At the time of the grant of shares of Restricted Stock, the Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of such shares as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate.

(c)                                  Restrictions on Transfer Prior to Vesting.

Prior to the vesting of a share of Restricted Stock, no transfer of a Participant’s rights with respect to such share, whether voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall be permitted. Immediately upon any attempt to transfer such rights, such share, and all of the rights related thereto, shall be forfeited by the Participant.




(d)                                  Dividends on Restricted Stock.

The Committee in its discretion may require that any dividends paid on shares of Restricted Stock be held in escrow until all restrictions on such shares have lapsed.

(e)                                  Issuance of Certificates.

(i)             Reasonably promptly after the Issue Date with respect to shares of Restricted Stock, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, DRS, in its sole discretion, may either (i) issue a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Participant to whom such shares were granted, evidencing such shares; provided, however that DRS shall not cause such a stock certificate to be issued unless it has received a stock power duly endorsed in blank with respect to such shares; and provided further that unless determined otherwise by the Committee such stock certificates shall be held by the Company or its representative or (ii) establish and maintain, or cause a representative to establish and maintain, an account to record the shares of Restricted Stock granted to such Participant and transactions and events affecting such stock.

(ii)          The following legend shall be (i) inscribed on any certificate issued or (ii) notated on any account established, for Restricted Stock prior to the lapse of any outstanding restrictions:

THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE PROVISIONS AND RESTRICTIONS AGAINST TRANSFER) CONTAINED IN THE DRS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2006 OMNIBUS PLAN, AND AN AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER OF SUCH SHARES AND DRS. A COPY OF THE PLAN AND AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DRS, 5 SYLVAN WAY, PARSIPPANY, NEW JERSEY 07054.

Such legend shall not be removed until such shares vest pursuant to the terms hereof.  Reasonably promptly after the Vesting Date with respect to shares of Restricted Stock, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, DRS, in its sole discretion, may either issue to the Participant or the Participant’s personal representative or deposit in such Participant’s or the Participant’s personal representative’s brokerage account via electronic transfer, a stock certificate representing one share of Company Stock, with respect to each whole share of Restricted Stock.

(f)                                    Consequences of Vesting.

Upon the vesting of a share of Restricted Stock, the restrictions of Section 10(c) shall lapse with respect to such share. Reasonably promptly after a share of Restricted Stock vests, DRS shall cause to be delivered to the Participant to whom such shares were granted, a certificate evidencing such share, free of the legend set forth in Section 10(e).

(g)                                 Effect of Termination of Employment.

(i)             Subject to such other provision as the Committee may set forth in the applicable Agreement, and to the Committee’s amendment authority pursuant to Section 4, upon the termination of a Participant’s employment for any reason other than Cause, any and all shares to which restrictions on transferability apply shall be




immediately forfeited by the Participant and transferred to, and reacquired by, DRS; provided that if the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall within thirty (30) days after such termination of employment notify the Participant in writing of its decision not to terminate the Participant’s rights in such shares, then the Participant shall continue to be the owner of such shares subject to such continuing restrictions as the Committee may prescribe in such notice. In the event of a forfeiture of shares pursuant to this section, DRS shall repay to the Participant (or the Participant’s estate) any amount paid by the Participant for such shares. In the event that DRS requires a return of shares, it shall also have the right to require the return of all dividends paid on such shares, whether by termination of any escrow arrangement under which such dividends are held or otherwise.

(ii)          In the event of the termination of a Participant’s employment for Cause, all shares of Restricted Stock granted to such Participant which have not vested as of the date of such termination shall immediately be returned to DRS, together with any dividends paid on such shares, in return for which DRS shall repay to the Participant any amount paid by the Participant for such shares.

(h)                                 Effect of Change in Control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control all outstanding shares of Restricted Stock which have not theretofore vested shall immediately vest and all restrictions on such shares shall immediately lapse unless such shares of Restricted Stock are converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor with an award of equivalent economic value containing equivalent terms.  With respect to any converted, assumed, or replaced shares of Restricted Stock, if a Participant’s employment is subsequently terminated without Cause or for Good Reason within 24 months of the Change in Control, such shares of Restricted Stock shall become fully and immediately vested upon the date of the Participant’s termination.

(i)                                    Special Provisions Regarding Awards.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Restricted Stock granted to Executive Officers pursuant to this Section 10 may be subject to attainment by the Company (or a Subsidiary or division of DRS if applicable) of performance goals pre-established by the Committee, based on one or more of the following criteria: (1) earnings including operating income, earnings before or after taxes, earnings before or after interest, depreciation, amortization, or extraordinary or special items or book value per share (which may exclude nonrecurring items); (2) pre-tax income or after-tax income; (3) earnings per common share (basic or diluted); (4) operating profit; (5) revenue, revenue growth or rate of revenue growth; (6) return on assets (gross or net), return on investment, return on capital, or return on equity; (7) returns on sales or revenues; (8) operating expenses; (9) stock price appreciation; (10) cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment (discounted or otherwise), net cash provided by operations, or cash flow in excess of cost of capital; (11) implementation or completion of critical projects or processes; (12) economic value created; (13) cumulative earnings per share growth; (14) operating margin or profit margin; (15) common stock price or total stockholder return; (16) cost targets, reductions and savings, productivity and efficiencies; (17) strategic business criteria, consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified market penetration, geographic business expansion, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, human resources management, supervision of litigation, information technology, and goals relating to acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and similar transactions, and budget comparisons; (18) personal professional objectives, including any of the




foregoing performance goals, the implementation of policies and plans, the negotiation of transactions, the development of long term business goals, formation of joint ventures, research or development collaborations, and the completion of other corporate transactions; and (19) any combination of, or a specified increase in, any of the foregoing.  Where applicable, the performance goals may be expressed in terms of attaining a specified level of the particular criteria or the attainment of a percentage increase or decrease in the particular criteria, and may be applied to one or more of the Company, any Subsidiary, or a division or strategic business unit of the Company, or may be applied to the performance of the Company relative to a market index, a group of other companies or a combination thereof, all as determined by the Committee.  The performance goals may include a threshold level of performance below which no payment will be made (or no vesting will occur), levels of performance at which specified payments will be made (or specified vesting will occur), and a maximum level of performance above which no additional payment will be made (or at which full vesting will occur).  Each of the foregoing performance goals shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided that the Committee shall have the authority to make equitable adjustments to the performance goals in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary, in response to changes in applicable laws or regulations, or to account for items of gain, loss or expense determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence or related to the disposal of a segment of a business or related to a change in accounting principles.  Shares of Restricted Stock granted to Executive Officers pursuant to this Section 10 and subject to the attainment by DRS of the Company (or a Subsidiary or division of DRS if applicable), shall be released from restrictions only after the attainment of such performance measures has been certified by the Committee.

(j)                                    Consent to Electronic Delivery.

In lieu of issuing documents in paper format, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee may, in its discretion provide for electronic delivery of any documents that DRS may be required to deliver (including, but not limited to, prospectuses, prospectus supplements, grant or award notifications and agreements, account statements, annual and quarterly reports, and all other forms or communications) in connection with the grant of awards and any other prior or future incentive award or program made or offered by DRS or its predecessors or successors.

11.  Restricted Stock Units.

(a)                                  Vesting Date.

At the time of the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Committee shall establish a Vesting Date or Vesting Dates with respect to such units.  The Committee may divide such units into classes and assign a different Vesting Date for each class.  Provided that all conditions to the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit imposed pursuant to Section 11(c) are satisfied, and except as provided in Section 11(d), upon the occurrence of the Vesting Date with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit, such unit shall vest.

(b)                                  Benefit Upon Vesting.

Upon the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive, within 30 days of the date on which such unit vests, an amount, in cash and/or shares of Company Stock, as determined by the Committee, equal to the sum of (1) the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date on which such Restricted Stock Unit vests and (2) the aggregate amount of cash dividends paid with respect to a share of Company Stock during the period




commencing on the date on which the Restricted Stock Unit was granted and terminating on the date on which such unit vests.

(c)                                  Conditions to Vesting.

At the time of the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Committee may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of such units as it, in its absolute discretion, deems appropriate.

(d)                                  Effect of Termination of Employment.

Subject to such other provision as the Committee may set forth in the applicable Agreement, and to the Committee’s amendment authority pursuant to Section 4, Restricted Stock Units that have not vested, together with any dividends credited on such units, shall be forfeited upon the Participant’s termination of employment for any reason.

(e)                                  Effect of Change in Control.

Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all outstanding Restricted Stock Units which have not theretofore vested shall immediately vest and payment in respect of such units shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Plan unless such Restricted Stock Units are converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor with an award of equivalent economic value containing equivalent terms.  If a Participant’s employment is subsequently terminated without Cause or for Good Reason within 24 months of the Change in Control, any such Restricted Stock Units so converted, assumed, or replaced that remain unvested shall become fully and immediately vested upon the date of the Participant’s termination.

(f)                                    Special Provisions Regarding Awards.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Section 11 to Executive Officers may be based on the attainment by DRS or the Company (or a Subsidiary or division of DRS if applicable) of one or more of the performance criteria set forth in Section 10(i), in each case, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. No payment in respect of any such Restricted Stock Unit award will be made to an Executive Officer until the attainment of the respective performance measures have been certified by the Committee.

(g)                                 Bookkeeping.

The Company shall establish and maintain an account for the participant to record Restricted Stock Units and transactions and events affecting such units. Restricted Stock Units and other items reflected in the account will represent only bookkeeping entries by the Company to evidence unfunded obligations of the Company.

12.  Stock Bonuses.

In the event that the Committee grants a Stock Bonus, as soon as practicable after the date on which such Stock Bonus is payable, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, DRS, in its sole discretion, may either (i) issue a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Participant to whom such grant was made, evidencing such shares or (ii) establish and maintain, or cause a representative to establish and maintain, an account to record the Stock Bonus granted to such Participant and transactions and events affecting such stock.

 




Executive Officers shall be eligible to receive Stock Bonus grants hereunder only after a determination of eligibility is made by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

13.  Other Awards.

Other forms of Incentive Awards (“Other Awards”) valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Company Stock may be granted either alone or in addition to other Incentive Awards under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Other Awards shall be granted, the number of shares of Company Stock to be granted pursuant to such Other Awards and all other conditions of such Other Awards.

14.  Non-Employee Director Formula Stock Options.

The provisions of this Section 14 shall apply only to grants of Non-Qualified Stock Options to Non-Employee Directors.

(a)                                  General.

Non-Employee Directors shall receive Non-Qualified Stock Options under the Plan, in addition to any other Incentive Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors.  The exercise price per share of Company Stock purchasable under Non-Qualified Stock Options granted to Non-Employee Directors shall be the Fair Market Value of a share of Company Stock on the date of grant.  No Non-Qualified Stock Option granted to a Non-Employee Director may be subject to an acceleration of exercisability except upon a Change in Control as described in Section 7(f).

(b)                                  Initial Grants to Subsequent Directors.

Unless otherwise determined, each Subsequent Director shall, at the time such director becomes a member of the Board of Directors, be granted automatically a Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase 5,000 shares of Company Stock.

(c)                                  Subsequent Grants to Directors.

On the date of each annual meeting of the stockholders of DRS subsequent to the annual meeting immediately following the Effective Date, unless otherwise determined, each continuing Initial Director will be granted automatically a Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase 2,500 shares of Company Stock; provided, however, that in no event shall a continuing Initial Director be granted Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase more than 2,500 shares of Company Stock under the Plan or any other stock option plan of the Company during any tax year of the Company.  On the date of each annual meeting of the stockholders of DRS subsequent to a Subsequent Director’s becoming a member of the Board of Directors, unless otherwise determined, such Subsequent Director shall be granted automatically a Non-Qualified Stock Option to purchase 2,500 shares of Company Stock.

(d)                                  Method and Time of Payment.

The Option exercise price shall be paid in full, at the time of exercise, in cash (including cash received from the Company as compensation), in shares of Company Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to such Option exercise price, in a combination of cash and Company Stock or through a cashless exercise procedure.




(e)                                  Term and Exercisability.

Each Non-Qualified Stock Option granted under this Section 14 shall (1) be exercisable as to 100% of the shares of Company Stock covered thereby on the first anniversary of the date that the Non-Qualified Stock Option is granted and (2) expire ten years from the date of grant.

(f)                                    Termination.

In the event of the termination of a Non-Employee Director’s service with DRS other than for Cause, any Non-Qualified Stock Option granted to such Non-Employee Director under this Section 14, to the extent that it is exercisable on the date of such termination, may be exercised by such Non-Employee Director (or, if applicable, by his or her executors, administrator, legatees or distributees) until the earlier of (1) the date that is two years from the date of such termination or (2) the expiration of such Non-Qualified Stock Option. In the event of the termination of a Non-Employee Director’s service with DRS for Cause, all outstanding Non-Qualified Stock Options granted to such Non-Employee Director shall expire at the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

15.  Rights as a Stockholder.

No person shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Company Stock covered by or relating to any Incentive Award until the date of issuance of a stock certificate with respect to such shares.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3(c), no adjustment to any Incentive Award shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

16.  No Special Employment Rights; No Right to Incentive Award.

Nothing contained in the Plan or any Agreement shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of employment by the Company or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, subject to the terms of any separate employment agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such employment or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant.

No person shall have any claim or right to receive an Incentive Award hereunder. The Committee’s granting of an Incentive Award to a participant at any time shall neither require the Committee to grant any other Incentive Award to such Participant or other person at any time or preclude the Committee from making subsequent grants to such Participant or any other person.




17.  Securities Matters.

(a)                                  DRS shall be under no obligation to effect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of any interests in the Plan or any shares of Company Stock to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, DRS shall not be obligated to cause to be issued or delivered any certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock pursuant to the Plan unless and until DRS is advised by its counsel that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which shares of Company Stock are traded.  The Committee may require, as a condition of the issuance and delivery of certificates evidencing shares of Company Stock pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such agreements and representations, and that such certificates bear  such legends, as the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable.

(b)                                 The transfer of any shares of Company Stock hereunder shall be effective only at such time as counsel to DRS shall have determined that the issuance and delivery of such shares is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which shares of Company Stock are traded. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, defer the effectiveness of any transfer of shares of Company Stock hereunder in order to allow the issuance of such shares to be made pursuant to registration or an exemption from registration or other methods for compliance available under federal or state securities laws. The Committee shall inform the Participant in writing of its decision to defer the effectiveness of a transfer. During the period of such deferral in connection with the exercise of an Option, the Participant may, by written notice, withdraw such exercise and obtain the refund of any amount paid with respect thereto.

18.  Withholding Taxes.

Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Incentive Award, the Company shall have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto.

Whenever shares of Company Stock are to be delivered pursuant to an Incentive Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto.  With the approval of the Committee, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery shares of Company Stock having a value less than or equal to the amount of tax to be withheld, but not greater than the statutory minimum. Such shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date on which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined (the “Tax Date”). Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such a withholding election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the shares to be delivered pursuant to an Incentive Award.

19.  Notification of Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code.

If any Participant shall, in connection with the acquisition of shares of Company Stock under the Plan, make the election permitted under Section 83(b) of the Code (i.e., an election to include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b)), such Participant shall notify the Company of such election within 10 days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service, in addition to any filing




and a notification required pursuant to regulation issued under the authority of Section 83(b) of the Code.

20.       Notification Upon Disqualifying Disposition Under Section 421(b) of the Code.

Each Agreement with respect to an Incentive Stock Option shall require the Participant to notify the Company of any disposition of shares of Company Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of such Option under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), within 10 days of such disposition.

21.  Amendment or Termination of the Plan.

The Board of Directors may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that stockholder approval shall be required if and to the extent the Board of Directors determines that such approval is appropriate for purposes of satisfying Sections 162(m) or 422 of the Code.  Incentive Awards may be granted under the Plan prior to the receipt of such stockholder approval but each such grant shall be subject in its entirety to such approval and no award may be exercised, vested or otherwise satisfied prior to the receipt of such approval. Nothing herein shall restrict the Committee’s ability to exercise its discretionary authority pursuant to Section 4, which discretion may be exercised without amendment to the Plan. No action hereunder may, without the consent of a Participant, reduce the Participant’s rights under any outstanding Incentive Award.

22.  Transfers Upon Death; Nonassignability.

Upon the death of a Participant, outstanding Incentive Awards granted to such Participant may be exercised only by the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate or by a person who shall have acquired the right to such exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  No transfer of an Incentive Award by will or the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with (a) written notice thereof and with a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and (b) an agreement by the transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Incentive Award that are or would have been applicable to the Participant and to be bound by the acknowledgements made by the Participant in connection with the grant of the Incentive Award.

A Participant may, upon providing written notice to the Secretary of DRS and subject to any conditions as the Committee may prescribe, elect to transfer any or all Options granted to such Participant pursuant to the Plan only to members of his or her immediate family, including, but not limited to, children, grandchildren and spouse or to trusts for the benefit of such immediate family members or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners; provided, however, that no such transfer by any Participant may be made in exchange for consideration.

23.  Expenses and Receipts.

The expenses of the Plan shall be paid by the Company. Any proceeds received by the Company in connection with any Incentive Award will be used for general corporate purposes.




24.  Failure to Comply.

In addition to the remedies of the Company elsewhere provided for herein, failure by a Participant (or beneficiary) to comply with any of the terms and conditions of the Plan or the applicable Agreement, unless such failure is remedied by such Participant (or beneficiary) within ten days after notice of such failure by the Committee, shall be grounds for the cancellation and forfeiture of such Incentive Award, in whole or in part, as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, may determine.

25.  Effective Date and Term of Plan.

The Plan became effective on the Effective Date, but the Plan (and any grants of Incentive Awards made prior to stockholder approval of the Plan) shall be subject to the requisite approval of the stockholders of DRS. In the absence of such approval, such Incentive Awards shall be null and void. Unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors, the right to grant Incentive Awards under the Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.  Incentive Awards outstanding at Plan termination will remain in effect according to their terms and the provisions of the Plan.

26.  Applicable Law.

Except to the extent preempted by any applicable federal law, the Plan will be construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

27.  Participant Rights.

No Participant shall have any claim to be granted any award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment for Participants. Except as provided specifically herein, a Participant or a transferee of an Incentive Award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by any award until the date of the issuance of a Company Stock certificate to him or her for such shares.




28.  Unfunded Status of Awards.

The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Incentive Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Agreement shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

29.  No Fractional Shares.

No fractional shares of Company Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Incentive Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

30.  Beneficiary.

A Participant may file with the Committee a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be the grantee’s beneficiary.

31.  Interpretation.

The Plan is designated and intended to comply with Rule 16b-3 and, to the extent applicable, with Section 162(m) of the Code, and all provisions hereof shall be construed in a manner to so comply.

32.  Severability.

If any provision of the Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Plan shall not be affected but shall be applied as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan.
