<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The securities offered hereby are Deferred Compensation Obligations (as defined below) of Alliant Techsystems Inc., which are being offered to eligible employees of ATK and its participating affiliates under the Alliant Techsystems Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, as Amended and Restated Effective January&nbsp;1, 2005 (the &#147;Plan&#148;).&#160; The Plan permits participants to defer a portion of the participant&#146;s base salary and all or a portion of the participant&#146;s cash incentive compensation in accordance with the terms of the Plan.&#160; In addition, the Plan provides for the deferral of additional amounts specified in the Plan relating to foregone matching contributions under ATK&#146;s 401(k) plan.&#160; Deferrals of salary, cash incentive compensation and amounts relating to foregone matching contributions are referred to as &#147;Cash Deferrals.&#148;&#160; The Plan also permits participants to defer all or a portion of any performance awards that are payable in shares of ATK common stock (&#147;Stock Deferrals&#148;).&#160; The amount of compensation to be deferred by each participant will be based on elections by each participant under the terms of the Plan.&#160; Cash Deferrals and Stock Deferrals constitute the &#147;Deferred Compensation Obligations&#148; under the Plan and are unsecured obligations of ATK to pay deferred compensation to participants under the terms of the Plan.&#160; The Plan provides that ATK may make additional contributions to participants&#146; accounts under the Plan.&#160; The Deferred Compensation Obligations will be payable on the date or dates selected by each participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan or on such other date or dates as specified in the Plan.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Cash Deferrals credited to a participant&#146;s account will be credited with earnings and investment gains and losses by assuming that the deferred amounts were invested in one or more investment options selected by the participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan.&#160; The investment options include various investment funds with different degrees of risk.&#160; Participants may reallocate amounts among the various investment options on a daily basis.&#160; Participants do not have a right to have amounts in their accounts actually invested in the investment options available under the Plan.&#160; Deferred Compensation Obligations relating to Cash Deferrals are denominated and paid in U.S. dollars and are not convertible into another security of ATK.&#160; Stock Deferrals credited to a participant&#146;s account will be denominated in a number of units equal to the number of shares of ATK common stock deferred.&#160; Each unit will be measured by the value of one share of ATK common stock and treated as though invested in a share of ATK common stock.&#160; Participants may not reallocate amounts credited as stock units and, upon distribution, amounts credited as stock units will be paid in shares of ATK common stock.</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p><p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In connection with the Plan, ATK has created a nonqualified grantor trust (the &#147;Trust&#148;), commonly known as a &#147;Rabbi Trust.&#148;&#160; The assets of the Trust will be used to pay benefits.&#160; The assets of the Trust are subject to the claims of ATK&#146;s general creditors. As a result, the Deferred Compensation Obligations are unsecured obligations of ATK to pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance</font></p>

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.&#160; In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.</font></p>

PART II
INFORMATION
REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents
filed by Alliant Techsystems Inc. ("ATK") with the Securities and Exchange
Commission are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement:
(a)  ATK's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005;
(b) ATK's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 3, 2005;
(c)  ATK's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated May 3, 2005, May 5, 2005, June 1, 2005, June 13, 2005 and August 2, 2005; and
(d)  the description of ATK's common stock, together with Preferred Stock Purchase Rights, contained in any registration statement or report filed by ATK under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents
subsequently filed by ATK pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all
such securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date
of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of
Securities.
The securities offered hereby are Deferred Compensation Obligations (as defined below) of Alliant Techsystems Inc., which are being offered to eligible employees of ATK and its participating affiliates under the Alliant Techsystems Inc. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan, as Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2005 (the "Plan").  The Plan permits participants to defer a portion of the participant's base salary and all or a portion of the participant's cash incentive compensation in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  In addition, the Plan provides for the deferral of additional amounts specified in the Plan relating to foregone matching contributions under ATK's 401(k) plan.  Deferrals of salary, cash incentive compensation and amounts relating to foregone matching contributions are referred to as "Cash Deferrals."  The Plan also permits participants to defer all or a portion of any performance awards that are payable in shares of ATK common stock ("Stock Deferrals").  The amount of compensation to be deferred by each participant will be based on elections by each participant under the terms of the Plan.  Cash Deferrals and Stock Deferrals constitute the "Deferred Compensation Obligations" under the Plan and are unsecured obligations of ATK to pay deferred compensation to participants under the terms of the Plan.  The Plan provides that ATK may make additional contributions to participants' accounts under the Plan.  The Deferred Compensation Obligations will be payable on the date or dates selected by each participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan or on such other date or dates as specified in the Plan.
Cash Deferrals credited to a participant's account will be credited with earnings and investment gains and losses by assuming that the deferred amounts were invested in one or more investment options selected by the participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  The investment options include various investment funds with different degrees of risk.  Participants may reallocate amounts among the various investment options on a daily basis.  Participants do not have a right to have amounts in their accounts actually invested in the investment options available under the Plan.  Deferred Compensation Obligations relating to Cash Deferrals are denominated and paid in U.S. dollars and are not convertible into another security of ATK.  Stock Deferrals credited to a participant's account will be denominated in a number of units equal to the number of shares of ATK common stock deferred.  Each unit will be measured by the value of one share of ATK common stock and treated as though invested in a share of ATK common stock.  Participants may not reallocate amounts credited as stock units and, upon distribution, amounts credited as stock units will be paid in shares of ATK common stock.
In connection with the Plan, ATK has created a nonqualified grantor trust (the "Trust"), commonly known as a "Rabbi Trust."  The assets of the Trust will be used to pay benefits.  The assets of the Trust are subject to the claims of ATK's general creditors. As a result, the Deferred Compensation Obligations are unsecured obligations of ATK to pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance
2
with the terms of the Plan. The Deferred Compensation Obligations will rank equally with other unsecured indebtedness of ATK from time to time outstanding.
A
participant's rights or the rights of any other person to receive payment of
Deferred Compensation Obligations may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged, mortgaged or otherwise encumbered, except by a written designation of
a beneficiary under the Plan.
ATK
reserves the right to amend the Plan prospectively at any time, including the
right to completely terminate the Plan and pay out all account balances to all
participants in the Plan.
Item 5. Interests of Named
Experts and Counsel.
Keith D. Ross, who has given an opinion of counsel with respect to the securities to which the Registration Statement relates, is an employee and officer (Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary) of ATK.  Mr. Ross is a participant in the Plan.
Item 6. Indemnification of
Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, as amended, provides that, under certain circumstances and subject to
certain conditions and limitations as stated therein, ATK may indemnify the
officers and directors of ATK against all expenses and liabilities incurred by
or imposed upon them as a result of suits or other actions brought against them
as such officers and directors if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of ATK, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe their conduct was unlawful.
Article IX of ATK's By-Laws provides, among other
things, that ATK shall, under certain circumstances and subject to certain
conditions and limitations as stated therein, indemnify any current or former
director, officer, employee or agent of ATK for expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and settlements actually and reasonably incurred by
such person for any action, suit or proceeding to which such person is made a
party by reason of such person's position with ATK or while acting as an agent
on behalf of ATK if, in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, such
person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to
be in or not opposed to the best interests of ATK, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe
such person's conduct was unlawful.  Such
rights of indemnification are not deemed exclusive of any other right available
to the individual under any policy of insurance, agreement, statute or
otherwise.
ATK
also maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance and corporate
reimbursement policies insuring directors and officers against loss arising
from claims made arising out of the performance of their duties.  In addition, ATK has indemnification
agreements with each of its directors and officers that, among other things,
require ATK to indemnify such individuals to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(A) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
4
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(c) To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that
paragraphs (1)(a) and (1)(b) do not apply if the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.
(B) The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(C) Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
