                                                                                      Exbhibit 1


        This application ("Application") seeks Commission consent to the pro forma assignment
with respect to the facilities authorized under experimental Stations WF2XFE and WH2XFR and
the licenses themselves (the "Stations") from DRS Signal Solutions, Inc. ("Assignor") to DRS
ICAS, LLC ("Assignee").

         Pursuant to agreements entered into in connection with an internal restructuring, the
facilities authorized under the Stations‘ licenses and the licenses themselves will be assigned
from Assignor to Assignee.

        The proposed transaction is pro forma in nature. Specifically, the transaction involves an
assignment of the Stations‘ licenses and the facilities licensed thereunder from Assignor to
Assignee, with both entities being — through intervening subsidiaries — wholly—owned
subsidiaries of their ultimate corporate parent Finmeceanica — Societa per azioni
(‘Finmeccanica") — an Italian corporation a majority of whose stock is publicly traded. As such,
the transaction does not constitute a "substantial change in ownership or control" of the subject
licenses pursuant to Section 309(c)(2)(B) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47
U.S.C. § 309(c)(2)(B). Due to the nature of the licenses involved in this matter, a foreign
ownership ruling pursuant to Section 310(b)(4) of the Communications Act is not required.

        This application is the only applications being filed at this time in connection with this
reorganization. No other applications are being filed with other Commission Bureaus with
respect to other licenses held by the Assignor entity.

        Upon grant of the Application and completion of the transaction, Assignee will have
Commission authorization to operate the facilities under the Stations‘ licenses, and become the
licensee of the Stations. As licensee, Assignee will continue to operate the Stations consistent
with the authority previously issued by the Commission. As demonstrated in the Application,
Assignee has the qualifications necessary to become the Commission licensee for the Stations.

        For the foregoing reasons, it is respectfully submitted that the proposed transaction will
serve the public interest.
