SENSYTECH, INC.

PROXY STATEMENT

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
of proxies by the Board of Directors of Sensytech, Inc. (the "Company") for use
at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company ("Annual Meeting") on
Wednesday, February 9, 2000, at 10:00 a.m., local time, or at any adjournment
thereof, for voting on the matters set forth in the accompanying Notice of
Annual Meeting of Stockholders and in this Proxy Statement.

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 20,
1999, will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
The Company had 4,002,667 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value (the "Common
Stock"), issued and outstanding as of that date. Presence in person or by proxy
of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date is
required for a quorum. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy
are being first sent or given to the Company's stockholders on or about January
19, 2000. Ten days before the Annual Meeting, a complete list of stockholders
entitled to vote at the meeting will be open to examination by any stockholder
for any purpose germane to the meeting during ordinary business hours at the
Company's principal office.

When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares they
represent will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the
instructions of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, the
shares will be voted FOR the election of the nominees for director set forth
herein, and FOR ratification of the appointment of auditors. In addition, if
other matters come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the
accompanying form of proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment with
respect to such matters.

Shares represented by a proxy in the accompanying form, unless
previously revoked, will be voted at the meeting if the proxy, properly
executed, is received by the Company before the close of business on February 8,
2000. Shares represented by a proxy received after that time will be voted if
the proxy is received by the Company in sufficient time to permit the necessary
examination and tabulation of the proxy before a vote is taken. Stockholders who
execute a proxy in the accompanying form may nevertheless revoke the proxy at
any time before it is exercised by giving written notice to the Secretary prior
to the Annual Meeting, by executing and delivering a later dated proxy, or by
voting in person at the meeting.

Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the record date will be
entitled to one vote on all matters. The seven candidates for election as
directors at the Annual Meeting who receive the highest number of affirmative
votes will be elected. The ratification of the independent auditors for the
Company for the current fiscal year will require the majority vote of a majority
of the shares of the Company's Common Stock present or represented and entitled
to vote at the Annual Meeting. Because abstentions

with respect to any matter are treated as shares present or represented and
entitled to vote for the purposes of determining whether that matter has been
approved by the stockholders, abstentions have the same effect as negative votes
for each proposal, other than the election of directors. Broker non-votes are
not deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether
stockholder approval of that matter has been obtained, but they are counted as
present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at the Annual
Meeting.

The expenses of solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company. In
addition to solicitation by mail, the officers and employees of the Company, who
will receive no extra compensation therefor, may solicit proxies personally or
by telephone. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for
their expenses incurred in sending proxies and proxy materials to the beneficial
owners of shares held by them.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility and authority
for the management of the Company's business, objectives and operations. It
selects the Company's executive officers, delegates authority for the conduct of
the Company's day-to-day operations to those officers, and monitors their
performance.

Seven directors, constituting the entire Board of Directors, will be
elected at the Annual Meeting, each to hold office until the next Annual Meeting
of Stockholders or until his successor, if any, is elected or appointed. The
individuals who have been nominated for election to the Board of Directors at
the Annual Meeting are listed in the table below. Each of the nominees is
presently a Director of the Company, except Mr. John Irvin.

If, as a result of circumstances not now known or foreseen, any of the
nominees is unavailable to serve as a nominee for the office of Director at the
time of the Annual Meeting, proxies may be voted either (i) for the election of
a substitute nominee who will be designated by the proxy holders or by the
present Board of Directors or (ii) for the balance of the nominees, leaving a
vacancy. Alternatively, the size of the Board may be reduced accordingly. The
Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be
unwilling or unable to serve, if elected as a Director. The nominees receiving a
plurality of the votes cast at the meeting will be elected as Directors. PROXIES
IN THE ACCOMPANYING FORM WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES LISTED
BELOW, UNLESS THE PROXY CARD IS MARKED OTHERWISE. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES LISTED BELOW.

BUSINESS EXPERIENCE OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The following sets forth the business experience of the executive
officer who is not also a director of the Company.

Joseph C. Hassab, Ph.D., age 58, joined the Company in August, 1998 as
President and Chief Operating Officer. Dr. Hassab has over 25 years experience
in acquisition and development of large military systems. He was previously
employed by Lockheed Martin Corporation and predecessor companies, General
Electric Corporation and Radio Corporation of America (RCA) from 1985 to 1998.
Dr. Hassab was employed by the U.S. Navy at its Naval Undersea Warfare Center
from 1971 to 1985.

INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

The Company has adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan for all
employees, including executive officers, under which performance targets are
established for each employee for each fiscal year. Each employee earns an
incentive bonus consisting of a combination of a cash payment and shares of
Company Common Stock, based on whether he or she met the applicable target. Mr.
Rockwell and Mr. Perrino do not participate in the Incentive Compensation Plan.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

Prior to the Merger, Mr. Perrino entered into certain arrangements with
STR, a predecessor of the Company, to defer portions of his salary from STR. STR
accrued interest on the deferred income. These arrangements were assumed by the
Company in the Merger and interest is currently being accrued on this account at
the prime rate (as defined) plus 1/2%. The amount in the deferred account is
payable upon Mr. Perrino's retirement as a full-time employee of the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company's employment agreement with Joseph C. Hassab requires the
Company to pay him upon termination, as Company President, severance
compensation of salary and benefits for two years.

Thomas R. Ory and Charles G. Stanich are each a party to an Employment
Agreement that requires the Company to pay him an amount equal to his present
salary and benefits until June 8, 2000, if termination of his employment meets
one of several criteria. There are further provisions for severance pay under
certain conditions. In general, such amounts would be payable upon resignation
following a reduction in his salary or other compensation, any diminution of
authority or duties or a significant change in the nature and scope of the
duties or any change in the status or title (other than a bona fide promotion).
The cash payment required under the agreement may be paid in a lump sum or in
monthly installments. If Mr. Ory or Mr. Stanich is employed subsequent to June
8, 2000, he is entitled to six months' severance plus benefits, if terminated by
the Company.

TERMINATION AGREEMENT

Robert R. Bower, a former executive officer of the Company, and the
Company entered into a Separation Agreement and Release of Claims dated August
13, 1999 (the "Agreement"). Under it, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Bower five
(5) months base salary plus $150,000, as severance pay, and to continue his
benefits through April 30, 2000. The Company also agreed to permit Mr. Bower to
fully exercise his vested and unvested stock option, which was granted under the
former STR option plan, to purchase approximately 15,000 shares of Company
Common Stock until February 13, 2000. The stock option previously issued to Mr.
Bower under the Company's Incentive Compensation Plan was terminated. Mr. Bower
agreed to provide certain consulting services to the Company, without further
compensation, and to waive certain possible claims against the Company.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Prior to June 30, 1999, the Company leased its principal facility in
Newington, Virginia, under two triple-net leases, from two separate partnerships
in which executive officers of the Company, along with other stockholders of the
Company, participated. The Company leased approximately 56,000 square feet from
Research Development

16

Properties, a partnership in which S. R. Perrino and Robert Bower, the Company's
Chairman and former Chief Financial Officer, respectively, each held a 1/14th
interest along with 12 other persons, who each held a 1/14th interest. Of these
12 other partners, six were also stockholders in the Company. The second lease
was with Terminal Real Estate, a partnership in which S. R. Perrino was a 50%
partner. The remaining 50% interest in this partnership was also held by a
stockholder in the Company. On June 30, 1999, the facilities were sold to an
unrelated third party.

During the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999, the Company paid
Research Development Properties and Terminal Real Estate approximately $260,600
and $53,400, respectively, in rent. The rents paid under both leases were at the
same rate per square foot.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more
than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file
reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"). They are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of
the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain
reporting persons that no other reports were required for fiscal year 1999, the
Company believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the
directors, officers and 10% stockholders were complied with, except that Mr.
Bower, a former officer of the Company, filed one late report of a transaction.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors has, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee,
selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent auditors of the Company for
the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000, and has further directed that the
selection of such auditors be submitted for ratification by the stockholders at
the Annual Meeting. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been the independent auditors
of the Company since the Merger.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years, there has been no
reportable event as defined in Regulation S-B Item 304(s)(1)(v).

The Company engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (formerly Coopers &
Lybrand, L.L.P.) as the Company's new independent accountants as of June 9,
1998. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP had served as the independent accountants of
STR for fiscal year ended September 30, 1997. The Company has been advised by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that neither the firm nor any of its associates had
any relationship with the Company other than the usual relationship that exists
between

independent certified public accountants and their clients during the
last fiscal year. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP will attend the
meeting, at which time they may make any statement they consider appropriate and
will respond to appropriate questions raised at the meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR
APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.
