EDO TO PROVIDE GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORT TO USAID

NEW YORK - June 14, 2004 - EDO Corporation (NYSE: EDO) ) has been awarded a subcontract to provide communications and networking support to the US Agency for International Development’s Office of Foreign Disaster Support (OFDA). The two-year, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract is valued at $9.0 million for the first year with the second year not yet priced.

Specific responsibilities under this contract include information technology and communications support, project and financial management support, facility and inventory management, and training. EDO will provide these services at OFDA headquarters in Washington, DC, as well as worldwide locations as OFDA deploys resources to provide non-food humanitarian assistance in response to international crises and disasters. This continues the efforts started under a previous contract that was originally awarded to Darlington Inc. prior to their acquisition by EDO in March 2003. Darlington has been incorporated into EDO’s Combat Systems Division.

"This contract again shows the success of our team of highly-skilled engineers and technicians that are deployed around the world to support sophisticated networks," said James M. Smith, EDO's chief executive officer. "Our track record of maintaining reliable, global communications under disaster situations has proven the value of outsourcing these complex, specialized functions. As with our similar Fleet Support contract, we continue to expand our level of responsibilities based on a record of proven performance."

EDO Corporation provides military and commercial products and professional services, with core competencies in a wide range of critical defense areas, including:

Aircraft Armament
Defense Electronics
Undersea Warfare
C4I – Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence
Integrated Composite Structures
