Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On November 4, 2003, the registrant completed the previously announced
merger of MMC3 Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant ("Merger
Sub"), into Integrated Defense Technologies, Inc. ("IDT"), pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 15, 2003 among the registrant,
Merger Sub and IDT (the "Merger Agreement"). As a result of the acquisition, IDT
has become the registrant's wholly-owned subsidiary. IDT is a developer and
provider of advanced electronics and technology products to the defense and
intelligence industries.

         Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the total consideration for
the acquisition, including $175 million of IDT's net debt which was refinanced,
was approximately $543 million before transaction expenses. Each share of IDT
common stock outstanding at the effective time of the merger has been converted
into the right to receive $12.25 in cash and 0.2027 of a share of the
registrant's common stock. The registrant will issue approximately 4,323,172
shares of common stock to former IDT stockholders.

         To finance the acquisition, the registrant entered into a new credit
facility and issued senior subordinated notes. The credit facility was entered
into on November 4, 2003 with Wachovia Bank, National Association and Bear,
Stearns Corporate Lending, Inc. The credit facility provides the registrant with
$411 million in cash. The credit facility consists of (1) a seven-year term loan
in an aggregate principal amount of $236 million, with principal repayable in
quarterly installments at a rate of 1.00% per year and the balance to be repaid
in equal quarterly installments beginning on December 31, 2009 and (2) a
five-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $175
million, to be repaid in full on the fifth anniversary of the closing date of
the facility. The registrant issued $350 million aggregate principal amount
senior subordinated notes due 2013 (the "Notes") on October 30, 2003. The Notes
were issued pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The notes bear interest at 6 7/8% and are guaranteed by
certain of DRS's wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries.

         The foregoing summary of the merger is qualified in its entirety by the
specific terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement was
filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 19, 2003
and is incorporated herein by reference.

         On November 4, 2003, the registrant issued a press release regarding
the closing of the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The press
release is included herewith as Exhibit 99.1

DRS Technologies Completes Acquisition of Integrated Defense
Technologies

    PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 4, 2003--DRS Technologies,
Inc. (NYSE: DRS) announced today that it has completed its acquisition
of Integrated Defense Technologies, Inc. (IDT). In the transaction, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of DRS was merged with IDT. The transaction
was completed following the approval by a majority of IDT's
stockholders at a special meeting held earlier today. The acquisition
is expected to add immediate earnings accretion to DRS.
    Each share of IDT common stock was converted in the merger into
the right to receive a combination of $12.25 in cash and 0.2027 of a
share of DRS common stock, or approximately $17.29 per IDT share,
based on the closing price of DRS's common stock on November 3, 2003.
The cash portion of the acquisition, together with the net debt of
IDT, aggregated approximately $436 million at closing. Total
consideration for the acquisition, including approximately $175
million of IDT's net debt that was refinanced at closing, was
approximately $543 million before transaction expenses.
    DRS financed the acquisition by utilizing existing excess cash on
hand, bank borrowings in the form of a $236 million amended and
restated credit facility, and the issuance of 6.875 percent senior
subordinated notes due 2013 in an aggregate principal amount of $350
million.
    "The addition of IDT is a milestone achievement in the
implementation of our business strategy, extensively diversifying our
product base and expanding our customer relationships," said Mark S.
Newman, DRS Technologies' chairman, president and chief executive
officer. "This transaction has enhanced our content on key U.S. Army
and Navy weapons programs, contributed a significant new base of U.S.
Air Force programs and greatly expanded DRS's intelligence agency
business, creating a formidable, defense electronics industry
competitor. We look forward to integrating this new operation with DRS
and to building stockholder value by fully leveraging the strengths
and synergies this combination offers."
