/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Engineered Support Systems, Inc.
(NASDAQ:EASI) received an $6.0 million order for the Stryker

Fire Support Sensor System (FS3) retrofit kits for the Fire Support

of the SEI-produced fire support equipment has continuously
enhanced America's fielded warfighter capability since 1995." The
FSV mission is to provide precision far target location and laser
target designation in support of the SBCT. One SBCT is currently
deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The FS3 is a high
performance sensor system consisting of a thermal imager/day camera
and rangefinder produced by Raytheon. In addition, FS3 has the
ability to mount a laser designation module for use with laser
guided munitions. Engineered Support Systems, Inc. provides
