Chemring Group PLC ('Chemring') announces that it has signed an agreement to
acquire 25% of the issued share capital of DT Media Limited ('DTM'), a company

Chemring will provide a cash loan of up to £150,000 to DTM, to be used to
reduce net debt and provide working capital. At 31 December 2000, DTM had net
liabilities of £85,000.

warfare, information warfare, and aviation related training.


David Evans, Chief Executive of Chemring, commented: 'The acquisition will
provide significant opportunities for the Group through the use of DTM
products to promote and expand our existing technologies. In particular, we
see excellent synergy with the provision of high quality simulation graphics
and tools to support our electronic warfare modeling capability, and state of
the art computer based training to support our growing product support
services'.
