     KAMAN TO PHASE OUT OPERATIONS AT MOOSUP, CONN. FACILITY

     BLOOMFIELD, Connecticut (June 14, 2002) - Kaman Corporation
NASDAQ: KAMNA) today announced that it will phase out operations
at Kaman Aerospace's Moosup, Connecticut manufacturing plant over
the next 12-18 months and expects to close the facility by the
end of 2003.

     Closing the facility will result in the elimination of
approximately 300 positions in Moosup.  The majority of these
positions will not be eliminated until 2003.  Work currently
performed in Moosup and the majority of the Moosup positions will
be relocated to other Kaman facilities. Current employees whose
jobs are being relocated will be considered for employment in the
other Kaman facilities.  The company also said that all
helicopter-related operations, including engineering, final
assembly, integration and flight test activities will remain in
Connecticut.

     "We believe this difficult action is essential to improve
operating performance and achieve a level of costs sufficiently
competitive for future growth," said Paul R. Kuhn, CEO.  "The
Moosup plant is the company's oldest and least efficient
facility.  As Kaman's aerostructures and helicopter subcontract
and advanced technology businesses expand, the company must
realign its manufacturing capacity to support those portions of
the business which are growing."

     "We have spoken to our Moosup employees and we are committed
to working with them closely to help them through this
transition," said Kuhn. "We have also been meeting with local and
State officials to assure them that we will take a lead role in
seeking a productive re-use for the Moosup facility."

     Separately, the company plans additional non-Moosup
workforce reductions at Kaman Aerospace of approximately 90
positions. Those reductions result from changing business
conditions, primarily a decline in revenue from prime helicopter
contracts, and will be completed over the next six months.

     The financial impact of the Moosup plant phase-out is
currently being determined.  The company is also in the process
of reviewing its helicopter programs and expects to record
material adjustments in the second quarter from these programs.
The details of all these adjustments, a significant portion of
which are anticipated to be non cash, are expected to be finally
determined by the time of the announcement of the company's
second quarter results.
