Exhibit 10.2  

  FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT         

This
First Amendment to the Employment Agreement (this "Amendment"), dated as of 20 July 2000, is entered into by and between Alliant Techsystems Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and Paul David Miller (the "Executive"). 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive have entered into an agreement dated January 1, 1999 (the "Agreement"); and 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive now desire to amend the Agreement; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the Company and the Executive hereby agree as follows: 

	1.
	Amend
Section 4(b) to read in its entirety as follows: 

 "(b)(i) In
the event the Executive's employment hereunder shall automatically terminate on the original Expiration Date of March 31, 2002, or as such date may be
extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the Executive, the Executive will be provided with monthly retirement benefits, commencing on the date of termination, under a non-qualified
supplemental employees retirement plan (SERP) of the Company, equal to the excess, if any, of (A) over the sum of (B) and (C) as follows, assuming that such benefits are to be
paid in the form of a single life only annuity without survivor benefits: 

    (A) Sixty
percent (60%) of the Executive's Final Average Earnings, as such monthly amount is defined in the Aerospace Retirement Plan except that, for purposes of this
Agreement, such amount shall be determined by reference to the Executive's highest thirty-six (36) consecutive months (or if the Term of Employment is less than
thirty-six (36) months, then such lesser number of months representing the number of full months in the Term of Employment) of earnings attributable to base salary and annual
cash incentive bonus awards during the last sixty (60) consecutive months of the Term of Employment, provided that the Executive has reached 65 years of age upon such termination date;
if the Executive has not reached 65 years of age upon such termination date, the amount of the retirement benefits under this Section 4(b)(i)(A) shall be reduced due to early
commencement based on the Executive's age at the date of termination in accordance with the terms of the Aerospace Retirement Plan; 

    (B) The
monthly amount payable from the Aerospace Retirement Plan or other qualified defined benefit retirement plan of the Company in which the Executive may become a
participant, assuming that such payment commences on the termination date and benefits are to be paid in the form of a single life only annuity without survivor benefits; 

    (C) The
monthly amount payable from the Executive's United States military retirement or pension plans, assuming the form of such benefit as in effect as of the
effective date of this Amendment; 

    (ii) In
the event the Company terminates the Executive's employment without Cause, the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as defined in
Section 4(b)(ix) below (other than a Qualifying Termination, as defined in the Company's Income Security Plan), or the Executive's employment is terminated as a result of the Executive's
death or Disability prior to the original Expiration Date of March 31, 2002, or as such date may be extended by mutual agreement of the Company and the Executive, the Executive will commence to
receive retirement benefits described under Section 4(b)(i) upon such termination but the Executive's age shall be determined as if the Executive had reached the age the Executive would
have reached on the original Expiration Date of March 31, 2002, or such date to which it may have been extended by mutual agreement of the Company and Executive, whichever is later; 

    (iii) In the event the Company terminates the Executive's employment for Cause during the Term of Employment, the Executive shall not be entitled to receive the amounts
described in Section 4(b)(i) and all such amounts shall be forfeited; 

    (iv) In
the event the Executive terminates his employment for other than Good Reason prior to the original Expiration Date of March 31, 2002, the Executive shall
not be entitled to receive the amounts described in Section 4(b)(i) and all such amounts shall be forfeited; 

    (v) If,
upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the Executive, the Expiration Date of this Agreement is extended beyond the original Expiration Date of
March 31, 2002, and the Executive terminates his employment for other than Good Reason following such original Expiration Date but prior to such extended Expiration Date, the Executive will
receive retirement benefits described in Section 4(b)(i) based on the Executive's age as of such date of termination; 

    (vi) If,
upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the Executive, the Expiration Date of this Agreement is extended beyond the original Expiration Date of
March 31, 2002, the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason (other than a Qualifying Termination, as defined
in the Company's Income Security Plan) or as a result of the Executive's death or Disability, and the Executive has reached 63 years of age upon such termination date, the Executive will
receive retirement benefits described under Section 4(b)(i) based on the assumption that the Executive had reached 65 years of age upon such termination date; 

   (vii) In
the event of a Qualifying Termination, as defined in the Company's Income Security Plan, the Executive will receive retirement benefits described in
Section 4(b)(i), incorporating any provisions of the Income Security Plan that may affect the determination of such amounts, and such amounts will become payable to the Executive in a single
lump sum, utilizing the same assumptions necessary for making such determinations as set forth in the Aerospace Retirement Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control, as defined in
the Company's Income Security Plan; 

   (viii) Except
as provided in Section 4(b)(vii) or as otherwise elected by the Executive pursuant to this Section 4(b)(viii), the retirement
benefits described in this Section 4(b) shall be paid as follows: (a) forty-nine percent (49%) of the total amount payable shall be paid as a monthly and 50% joint and
survivor annuity benefit in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Aerospace Retirement Plan and (b) the remaining fifty-one percent (51%) shall be payable in a single lump
sum, utilizing the same assumptions necessary for making such determinations as set forth in the Aerospace Retirement Plan. However, the Executive may elect, at least one year prior to the time at
which the Executive is entitled to receive such benefits, to receive such benefits hereunder in any other actuarial equivalent form of benefits, utilizing the same assumptions necessary for making
such determinations as set forth in the Aerospace Retirement Plan; 

    (ix) For
purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean: 

    (a) Change of Compensation. A reduction by the Company in the Executive's annual base salary or target annual incentive
bonus (as in effect on the Effective Date of this Agreement or as such amounts may have been increased from time to time) or the aggregate dollar value of the Executive's Stock Award or Performance
Cash Award, as those terms are defined in the Income Security Plan (determined in accordance with the Company's policies and procedures based on the Executive's annual base salary and award parameters
in effect on the Effective Date of this Agreement or as such amounts may have been increased from time to time), below the rate or value thereof, or the failure by the Company to continue the
Executive's eligibility in any welfare benefits or retirement plans in which the Executive was participating on the Effective Date or such later date unless such welfare benefits or retirement plans
are terminated by the Company in their entirety, and the elimination of eligibility affects all exempt employees, or the Executive is permitted to participate in other plans providing the Executive
with materially comparable welfare benefits and in materially comparable retirement plans; or 

    (b) Change of Location. The Company requiring the Executive to be based anywhere other than the Executive's work
location on the Effective Date, as it may be changed thereafter with the Executive's consent, or a location within fifty (50) miles from such location; unless such relocation is agreed to in
writing by both the Company and the Executive, or is otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement; or 

    (c) Change of Position. The assignment to the Executive of any duties inconsistent in any respect with the Executive's
position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties or responsibilities, or any other action by the Company which results in a diminution in such position,
authority, duties or responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt
of notice thereof given by the Executive. 

A
termination pursuant to this Section 4(b)(ix) shall not be deemed a termination for Good Reason unless the Company receives written notice of such termination from the Executive within
sixty (60) days after the occurrence of the events constituting the Executive's reason for such termination and the Company does not within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice
cure the stated reason therefor." 

	2.
	Amend
Section 6(b)(iii) to read in its entirety as follows: 

    "all
amounts owing to the Executive under Section 4(c) hereof and" 

Except
as amended herein, all provisions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. 

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the date first written above and intend that this Amendment
have the effect of a sealed instrument.

Exhibit 10.3  

  ADDENDUM TO FIRST AMENDMENT TO EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT         

The
First Amendment To Employment Agreement provides a non-qualified Supplemental Employees Retirement Plan (SERP) under which certain benefits are to be provided to the Executive.
Section 4(b)(i)(A) of the Agreement defines the SERP to be a multiple of the Executive's base salary and annual cash incentive bonus. 

The
purpose of this addendum is to clarify the meaning of annual cash incentive bonus. 

The
annual cash incentive bonus is the amount calculated by applying a performance percent, as determined by the Personnel and Compensation Committee of the Board, to the executive's annual target
bonus for each year (or portion of a year) that the executive is employed as Chief Executive Officer of Alliant Techsystems Inc.; the annual cash incentive bonus amount is calculated before any
deferral or conversion to ATK stock.
