               KAMAN TO SELL ELECTRIC MOTOR
               BUSINESS TO DRS TECHNOLOGIES

BLOOMFIELD, Connecticut (January 15, 2003) -  Kaman Corp
(NASDAQ:KAMNA) today announced it has sold its electric motor and
drive business to DRS Technologies, Inc., Parsippany, N. J.
Terms were not disclosed.

A part of Kaman since 1985 and now a component of the Kaman
Aerospace subsidiary, the Hudson, Mass. business has operated as
the Electromagnetics Development Center (EDC) since July 1999.
The EDC develops and manufactures high performance electric
motors, generators and drive electronics for industrial and
defense applications. The business employs about 65 people and
will continue to operate out of its Hudson facilities.

Paul R. Kuhn, chairman, president and chief executive officer of
Kaman Corp. said, "We believe that the best value for all parties
will be realized through this transaction.  DRS is well
positioned to integrate the EDC's development know-how with its
existing production capabilities as it pursues follow-on
production contracts for the U.S. Navy's recently competed DD(X)
ship propulsion program as well as high-volume commercial motor
production.  Kaman will continue to focus on its growth strategy
in Aerospace with new programs and acquisitions aligned with the
company's core strengths."

DRS is an established leader in naval power distribution and
control systems and provides leading edge products and services
to government and commercial customers worldwide. Focused on
defense electronics, DRS develops and manufactures a broad range
of mission-critical systems and components in the areas of
communications, combat systems, rugged computers, electro-optics,
power conversion, data storage, digital imaging, flight safety
and space.

Kaman Corp., headquartered in Bloomfield, Conn., conducts
business in the aerospace, industrial distribution and music
distribution markets.
