                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

      INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT dated January 14, 1998 between COMTECH
TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Fred
Kornberg (the "Optionee").

      WHEREAS, the Optionee is employed by the Company and the Company and the
Optionee desire to (a) provide additional incentives to the Optionee in
connection with the Optionee's responsibilities for the management and growth of
the business of the Company, and (b) more closely align the Optionee's interests
with the interests of stockholders of the Company, through, in relation to both
objectives, the granting to the Optionee of Options to purchase shares of Common
Stock of the Company. Capitalized terms used, but not defined herein, shall have
the same meanings as set forth in the 1993 Plan (as defined below).

      NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Optionee agree as follows:

      1. Subject and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company's 1993
Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "1993 Plan"), the Company hereby
grants to the Optionee an Option to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of
the Common Stock of the Company, $.10 par value, at the purchase price of $4.50
per share, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

      2. Unless earlier terminated as provided below or otherwise pursuant to
the 1993 Plan, this Option shall expire in full on the tenth anniversary of the
date of grant. This Option may not be exercised (in whole or in part) unless and
until such Option shall have become vested, and absent Committee consent, unless
and until all indebtedness of the Optionee to the Company, if any, has been
repaid. This Option shall become automatically vested on the date (the "Final
Vesting Date") which is thirty days prior to the tenth anniversary of the date
hereof (subject to earlier vesting as provided in Section 2(b) hereof), provided
that the Optionee is
<PAGE>

employed by the Company on the Final Vesting Date, and has been so employed at
all times from the date hereof to the Final Vesting Date.

            (b) This Option shall be subject to earlier vesting in accordance
with the following Early Vesting Schedule and Note, thereto, provided as to any
Interim Vesting Date that the Optionee is employed by the Company on such
Interim Vesting Date and has been so employed at all times from the date hereof
to such Interim Vesting Date:

                               Early Vesting Schedule

                ----------------------------------------------------
                    Target Fair Market
                     Value Per Share           Number of Shares
                ----------------------------------------------------
                           $10                      25,000
                ----------------------------------------------------
                           $15                      25,000
                ----------------------------------------------------
                           $20                      25,000
                ----------------------------------------------------
                           $30                      25,000
                ----------------------------------------------------

                                Notes to Schedule

      (1)   On the first occasion, if any, prior to March 31, 2001, that the
            average Fair Market Value Per Share equals or exceeds one or more
            Target Fair Market Value amounts during a 20 consecutive day trading
            period (the "Trading Period"), this Option shall vest with respect
            to the related Number of Shares at the close of business on the last
            day of such Trading Period (an "Interim Vesting Date").

      3. This Option may be exercised by delivery of a written notice of
exercise to the Company at its principal office, presently 105 Baylis Road,
Melville, New York 11747 (Attention: Secretary), specifying the number of whole
shares to be purchased and accompanied by:

            (i) full payment in cash (or by certified check, bank draft or money
order payable to the order of the Company) of the aggregate purchase price for
such shares, or by unencumbered certificates of shares of Common Stock of the
Company owned by the Optionee (the amount applied toward the purchase price to
be the fair market value of such shares determined in accordance with procedures
established by the Committee); provided that such


                                       2
<PAGE>

certificates of shares have been owned by Optionee for such period as may be
required by applicable accounting standards to avoid a charge to earnings;

            (ii) a combination of cash and shares as provided above; or

            (iii) such consideration and on such terms and conditions as may be
acceptable to the Committee and in accordance with applicable law.

      The Optionee shall also provide, if requested by the Company, the written
statement referred to in Section 7 hereof.

      4. If the Optionee shall cease to be employed by the Company for any
reason other than his death, disability (as defined below) or termination for
Cause, the Optionee shall have the right, at any time within three months after
such cessation of employment, to exercise this Option as to those shares, if
any, which are vested pursuant to Section 2 hereof as of the date of such
cessation of employment, provided that all rights under this Option shall expire
in any event on the date specified in the first sentence of Section 2 hereof.

      5. In the event Optionee's employment with Company terminates on account
of death or disability ("disability" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in
Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended (the "Code")),
any portion of this Option remaining unexercised at the time of such termination
may, to the extent then exercisable, be exercised by the Optionee, his estate or
any person or persons to whom his rights, under the Option, shall pass by will
or the laws of descent and distribution, at any time within one year after the
death or disability of the Optionee, but only during the term of this Option set
forth in Section 2 hereof. 

      6. This Option and the rights and privileges conferred herein may be
exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by him, and shall not be
transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of in any
way (whether by operation of law or otherwise), other than by will or the laws
of descent and distribution, and shall not be subject to execution,


                                       3
<PAGE>

attachment or similar process. Upon any attempt to so transfer, assign, pledge,
hypothecate or dispose of this option, or any right or privilege conferred
hereby, contrary to the provisions hereof, or upon the levy of an execution,
attachment or similar process upon this Option, or the rights and privileges
conferred hereby, the Option and the rights and privileges conferred hereby
shall immediately become null and void.

      7. If so requested by the Company, the Optionee agrees at the time of
exercise of this Option to deliver to the Company, a statement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Company, in which the Optionee (i) represents and
warrants that the shares purchased are being acquired for investment only and
not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, (ii) acknowledges that the
shares purchased may not be sold unless registered for sale under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or pursuant
to an exemption from such registration, and (iii) agrees that the certificates
evidencing such shares shall bear an appropriate legend referring to such
restrictions.

      8. The Option granted hereby is intended to qualify as an "incentive stock
option" under Section 422 of the Code. In the event the Optionee disposes of the
shares acquired pursuant to exercise of this Option within either two years from
the date of grant or within on year after exercise of the option, or, if the
Optionee is not employed at all times during the period beginning on the date of
this Agreement and ending on the day three (3) months before the date of the
exercise of the Option (or such other date prescribed under Section 422 of the
Code), the Optionee agrees to deliver to the Company, within seven days
following such disposition, a written notice specifying the date the shares were
disposed of, the number of shares, and, if the disposition was by a sale or
exchange, the amount of consideration received. To the extent that the Option
does not qualify as an "incentive stock option" for any reason, it will
constitute a separate nonqualified stock option.

      9. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer upon the
Optionee, the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to the shares
subject to an Option, unless and 


                                       4
<PAGE>

until a certificate or certificates for such shares shall have been issued upon
the exercise of the Option.

      10. In the event that this Agreement gives the Optionee the right to buy a
number of Shares in excess of the maximum amount permitted by ss. 422 of the
Code, such excess shall be rounded to the next higher whole number (the "Excess
Amount") and this Agreement will continue to apply to the Excess Amount, except
that the Option to acquire the Excess Amount shall be treated as a separate
Option which is not an incentive stock option and the Optionee agrees to arrange
for payment of any applicable withholding taxes in a manner satisfactory to the
Company in its sole discretion with respect to the separate Option which is not
an incentive stock option.

      11. This agreement does not guarantee that the Company will employ the
Optionee for any specific time period, nor does it modify in any respect the
Company's right to terminate or modify the Optionee's employment or
compensation.

      12. This agreement is subject to all of the terms, conditions and
provisions of the 1993 Plan and to such rules, regulations and interpretations
relating to the 1993 Plan as may be adopted by the Committee and as may be in
effect from time to time. A copy of the 1993 Plan has been delivered to the
Optionee by the Company, and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by
reference. If and to the extent that this agreement conflicts or is inconsistent
with the terms, conditions and provisions of the 1993 Plan, the 1993 Plan shall
control, and this agreement shall be deemed to be modified accordingly. By
signing and returning this agreement, the Optionee acknowledges having received
and read a copy of the Plan and agrees to comply with it, this agreement and all
applicable laws and regulations.
