DRS Technologies Receives a $13 Million Order from the U.S. Army to Manufacture Tactical Quiet Generators.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. -- DRS Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: DRS) announced today that it received a $13 million order from the U.S. Army's Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey to manufacture Tactical Quiet Generators (TQG).

CECOM placed the order on behalf of various Army, Navy and Air Force units via the Army's Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications Tactical, and its subordinate office of Project Manager for Mobile Electric Power at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

The award is part of a current Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with CECOM, and part of a long-term production program for the Army, which initially began as a development program in 1997.

The manufacturing of the TQGs will be executed by the company's DRS Fermont business unit in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Initial deliveries to CECOM are scheduled to begin in July 2008 with final deliveries expected to occur in January 2009. DRS Fermont has been a leading designer and manufacturer of rugged and reliable military generators since World War II, and is the largest supplier of generators to the U.S. military.

DRS manufactures the TQG in 3-, 5-, 10-, 15-, 100-, and 200-kilowatt versions. This current contract is for its 3-kilowatt model. Upon the completion of this contract, DRS will have manufactured approximately 21,000 3-kilowatt TQGs for the U.S. military.

Whether for training missions or real-world peacekeeping and combat operations, the company's suite of TQGs is engineered and manufactured to meet stringent U.S. military requirements for an efficient, rugged and portable source of electrical power. The TQGs give military forces a reliable power source that is lightweight, operates at a low noise, and can be used in remote field locations wherever electrical power is needed. DRS' next-generation 100- and 200-kilowatt TQGs feature an advanced electronic diagnostics and prognostics package, and a state-of-the-art digital control panel.

The Sustainment Systems business segment develops and manufactures environmental control units, fuel and water distribution systems, power generation systems, decontamination systems, electronic testing systems, and heavy equipment transport systems.
