Report Of Independent Registered

Public Accounting Firm

To The Pension Committee

Engineered Support Systems, Inc.

   401(k) & Employee Stock Ownership Plan

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Engineered Support Systems, Inc.
401(k) & Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in Notes H and I, the Company has amended the Plan to provide for its termination effective January 30, 2006.  During the plan year, the Trustees made the decision to terminate the Plan.  Therefore, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Plan has changed its basis of accounting from the ongoing plan basis to the liquidation basis.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Engineered Support Systems, Inc.

401(k) & Employee Stock Ownership Plan

December 31, 2006 and 2005

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is a combined 401(k) savings plan and a payroll-based employee stock ownership plan covering salaried employees and all non-salaried employees not otherwise covered by a collective bargaining agreement of the Company’s following wholly-owned subsidiaries:  Engineered Air Systems, Inc., Engineered Specialty Plastics, Inc., Engineered Coil Company, d/b/a Marlo Coil, Keco Industries, Inc., Engineered Electric Company, d/b/a Fermont, Radian, Inc., Universal Power Systems, Inc., Technical and Management Services Corp., Engineered Environments, Inc., System & Electronics Inc. employees hired after 2004, Spacelink International, LLC, Prospective Computer Analysts Inc., and Mobilized Systems, Inc.  Eligible employees age 21 may enroll in the Plan.  Upon enrollment, participants may elect to defer from 1% to 50% of their compensation in the Plan, up to a maximum of $15,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 and $14,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005 as adjusted annually by the Internal Revenue Service.  For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, additional catch up contributions in the amounts of $5,000 and $4,000, respectively, could be made by participants age 50 or older.  The Plan allows forfeitures to offset administrative expenses of the Plan in addition to reducing the employer contributions.  The Plan allows for hardship withdrawals.  The Plan limits loan repayments to five (5) years.

Contributions under the Plan consist of the following:

1.               The amount of the salary deferrals of all Plan participants (the participant contribution).

2.               The Company’s discretionary contribution (the employer discretionary contribution). There was no discretionary contribution in 2006.  In 2005, the Company’s discretionary contribution was equal to 4.2% of eligible earnings.

3.               The Company’s matching contribution of no less than 25% of each employee’s contribution up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s earnings (the employer matching contribution).  In 2006 and 2005, the matching contribution was 40% of each participant’s eligible contributions up to 6%.

All participant contributions are invested at the participant’s discretion in the investment funds offered by the Plan and selected by the participant.  Employee and employer contributions are 100% vested.

Upon death, termination of service, or attainment of age 70 ½, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account, a single annuity, the purchase of a joint and survivorship annuity with various survivor options, or a series of installment payments.

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the employer’s matching contribution or employer discretionary contributions, if applicable, and an allocation of Plan earnings.  The allocation of earnings is determined by the earnings of the participant’s investment selection based on each participant’s account balance, as defined in the Plan agreement.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s account.

Contributions made in 2006 were in the form of cash.  Contributions made by the Company in 2005 were in the form of Engineered Support Systems, Inc. common stock or cash.

The Plan allows participants to borrow from existing balances in their Plan investments.  Participant loan balances must not exceed 50% of the participants vested account balance at the date the loan was processed with a minimum borrowing of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000.  These loans are to be repaid with interest over a period not to exceed five years (twenty years for mortgage loans).  The final installments are due at various dates through April 2024.

The Plan Administrator is DRS Technologies, Inc. as of February 1, 2006 and was Engineered Support Systems, Inc. from January 1, 2006 through January 31, 2006 and all of 2005, each acting through an Administrative Committee to administer the Plan.  The Company bears all expenses of administering the Plan (with the exception of participant loan fees), including any compensation of the trustee, Prudential Trust Company.  In 2006, the Plan incurred $15,167 in Participant loan fees.  In 2005, the Plan incurred $48,400 in trustee fees or other administrative expenses paid from Plan assets. Information about the Plan, including provisions for vesting, allocation of earnings, withdrawal provisions and the impact of Plan termination is contained in the Summary Plan Description.  Copies of the Summary Plan Description are available from the Company.

NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Certain 2005 figures have been reclassified, where appropriate, to conform to the financial statement presentation used in 2006.

The financial statements of the Engineered Support Systems, Inc. 401(k) & Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “Plan”) are presented on the liquidation basis of accounting in 2006 and on the accrual basis in 2005, except that benefits due to participants are recorded as a reduction in net assets available for Plan benefits when paid.

Investments in the DRS Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) common stock are stated at fair value based on the last reported sales price on December 31, 2006.  Investments in the Engineered Support Systems, Inc. common stock are stated at fair value based on the last reported sales price on December 31, 2005.  Investments in registered investment companies, including the EuroPacific Growth Fund, the Alliance Bern Growth & Income Fund-Class A, the Janus Twenty Fund,  the Jennison Growth Fund-Class Z, Vanguard Total Stock Market (Admiral Class), Vanguard Windsor (Admiral Class) , Vanguard Institutional Index (Institutional Class), American Balanced Fund-Class A,  Lord Abbett Small Cap Blend-Class A, PIMCO Total Return-Class A, and the Jennison US Emerging Growth Fund-Class Z, the Lord Abbett AP Fund, are stated at the fair value of the underlying portfolio of securities, as determined by the respective manager.

As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.  However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan.  As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the Guaranteed Investment Contract, which is fully-benefit-responsive investment contract.  Since the fair value of this contract also approximates its contract value, the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits does not require a separate adjustment for reporting the Plan net assets on a contract value basis.   The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Net realized appreciation or depreciation on security transactions represent the difference between proceeds received and cost.  The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

5




Investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risk.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near-term could materially affect the amounts reported in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.

Participant loans are valued at their outstanding principal amount.  These notes bear interest at a rate equal to the prime interest rate as of the effective date of the loan plus one percentage point.

Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company or are taken from balances available in the Plan forfeiture account with the exception of loan expenses paid by the participants.

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and changes in net assets during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Note D - Investment Contract with Insurance Company

The Plan has entered into a benefit-responsive investment contract with Prudential Retirement and Annuity Company (PRIAC).  PRIAC maintains the contributions in a general account.  The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.  The guaranteed investment contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan.  The guaranteed investment contract is reflected in the financial statements at fair market value which is equal to contract value.

As described in Note B, because the guaranteed investment contract is fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the guaranteed investment contract.  Contract value, as reported to the Plan by PRIAC, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses.  Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value under all circumstances including the termination of the plan.  There are no instances that would limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer.

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.  The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but it may not be less than 1.5 percent.  Such interest rates are reviewed on a semi-annual basis for resetting.

The guaranteed investment contract does not permit the insurance company to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date.

Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm on Supplementary Information

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Income Security Act of 1974.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
