Item 5.  Other Events


The Company issued a press release dated June 14, 2002 announcing
that it will phase out operations at Kaman Aerospace's Moosup
Connecticut manufacturing plant over the next 12 - 18 months.
The facility is expected to be closed by the end of 2003.  About
300 positions in Moosup will be eliminated, the majority of which
will occur in 2003. Work currently performed in Moosup and the
majority of Moosup positions will be relocated to other Kaman
facilities and employees whose jobs are being relocated will be
considered for employment at the other Kaman facilities.

The Company also announced that non-Moosup workforce reductions
of about 90 employees are planned over the next six months and
these reductions are the result of changing business conditions,
primarily a decline in prime helicopter contracts.

The Company stated that the financial impact of the Moosup plant
phase out is currently being determined.  The Company is also in
the process of reviewing its helicopter programs and expects to
record material adjustments in the second quarter from these
programs.  The details of all these adjustments, a significant
portion of which are anticipated to be non cash, are expected to
be finally determined by the time of the announcement of the
Company's second quarter results.
