         "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE"


ALLIED RESEARCH CORPORATION SAYS LEADING INVESTMENT NEWSLETTER URGED ITS
SUBSCRIBERS TO VOTE FOR ALLIED'S SLATE OF CANDIDATES


VIENNA, Virginia -June 7, 1999 - Allied Research Corporation (AMEX: ALR), a
diversified defense and commercial electronic security firm, said today it was
highly pleased with the support given to Allied's management team by Mr. Al
Frank, Laguna Beach, Ca., publisher of the respected "The Prudent Speculator"
investment advisory newsletter.

Allied Research has been notified by a group of shareholders holding just over
4% of its stock that they will attempt to win control of the company through a
dissident slate of board candidates.

According to the issue of "Prudent Speculator" dated May 26, 1999, "...we
strongly oppose their attempt to elect a new slate of directors to replace
Allied's board. "...we hardly think replacing a management team that has
produced earnings per share of $1.08, $1.85 and $1.73 in the last three years is
in the shareholder's best interest. In fact, we are happy to be able to buy ALR
at the current price ...and we would vote for Allied's current slate of
candidates if not already done so."

Allied Research Corporation is a defense and electronic security firm. Its
operating units develop and produce ammunition, supply equipment performance
upgrades for defense departments worldwide, and design, produce and market
sophisticated electronic security and access control systems.
