LOUIS, May 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Engineered Support Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: EASI) received a contract value at up to $6.1 million from the U.S. Air Force for depot level repairs of its AN/APQ-170 Combat Talon II (CT- II) Terrain Following Radar system. The initial order under the contract totals $3.7 million with an option for an additional $2.4 million. The contract includes technician labor and replacement parts for a large number of CT-II units currently used aboard U.S. Air Force aircraft, according to Michael F. Shanahan, Sr., Chairman and CEO.

"Since its initial fielding, the Combat Talon II Radar has been integral to the successful deployment of special operations military personnel and equipment into remote locations around the globe. The Combat Talon has been used extensively during current U.S. military operations in Afghanistan," commented Shanahan. The repairs under this contract will be performed at the Company's Systems & Electronics Inc. subsidiary's St. Louis facilities through 2006.
