Dear FCC Representative:

DRS Sustainment Systems, Inc. (DRS SSI) currently has a Special Temporary Authority
(STA) FCC License for an experimental version of our radar system, the AN/PPS-5C, call
sign WC9XUI. This STA will expire on March 26, 2008. We have are applying for an FCC
License for the radar system that is licensed by this STA. The new application number is
0106-EX-PL-2008. In addition, we currently have a license from the NTIA for the military use
of our radar system. The JF-12 associated with this license is attached to our application.

DRS SSI is still actively involved in performing demonstrations of our radar system in
conjunction with the Secure Border Initiative Network (SBINet) program that is sponsored by
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Currently, we have provided 9 (nine) radar
systems to Boeing, the SBInet Prime Contractor, who is demonstrating the feasibility of the
SBInet Program under contract to DHS in a 28 Mile section of the U.S. border with the
Republic of Mexico in the Tucson, Arizona area. In addition, DRS SSI is being requested to
demonstrate our experimental radar system in conjunction with future applications of border
security related to the DHS SBInet Program. It is imperative that we do not experience a
lapse in time during which the radar is not licensed.

Please expedite the processing of license application so that our renewal will be granted
before the expiration of our current STA license.

Thank you in advance for any assistance that you can provide.

Sincerely,

John A Ziegler                                       FRN: 0002533586
