                                                                                     Exhibit

         This application ("Application") seeks Commission consent to the pro forma assignment
with respect to the facilities authorized under experimental Station WG2XVH and the license
itself (the "Station") from DRS Technical Services, Inc. ("Assignor‘") to DRS ICAS, LLC
("Assignee").

       For internal business reasons, the parties have agreed to effectuate an assignment of the
Station‘s facilitates from Assignor to Assignee. This Application seeks Commission consent to
effectuate such transaction.

        The proposed transaction is pro forma in nature. Specifically, the transaction involves an
assignment of the Station‘s license and the facilities licensed thereunder from Assignor to
Assignee, with both entities being wholly—owned subsidiaries of their ultimate corporate parent
Finmeccanica — 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 license 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
license 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 application being filed at this time in connection with this
matter. 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 Station‘s license, and become the
licensee of the Station. As licensee, Assignee will continue to operate the Station 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 Station.

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