6.      Long-Term Debt

On  August 17, 1995, the Company increased the limit of its 
revolving credit line with its bank to $26,535,000, comprised of 
$18,000,000 for the issuance of letters of credit and $8,535,000 
for direct working capital advances.  Maturity of the credit line 
was extended to December 31, 1997 and interest payable on 
borrowings under the line of credit was reduced to the bank's prime 
rate plus 0.50% or to LIBOR plus 1.50%, at the option of the 
Company.



Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations.

Datron Systems Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the 
"Company") report operations in two business segments:  
Communication Products and Services (formerly called the Radio 
Communication Products business segment), and Antenna and Imaging 
Systems (formerly called the Antenna and Satellite Communication 
Systems business segment).  The Communication Products and Services 
business segment designs, manufactures and distributes high 
frequency and very high frequency radios and accessories.  The 
Antenna and Imaging Systems business segment designs and 
manufactures specialized satellite communication systems, 
subsystems and antennas, and provides ground station hardware, 
software and image processing systems for the remote sensing 
market.

Results of Operations

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 9% to 
$840,000 or $0.32 per share compared with net income of $773,000 or 
$0.30 per share in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  Net sales in 
the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $17,445,000, an 8% increase 
from net sales of $16,088,000 in the second quarter last fiscal 
year.  The increase in sales was primarily due to higher sales of 
radio products.  The increase in net income resulted from higher 
gross profits on the higher sales, partially offset by increased 
selling expenses and research and development expenses.

<PAGE> 6
Net income for the six months ended September 30, 1995 increased 8% 
to $1,255,000 or $0.47 per share, compared with net income of 
$1,166,000 or $0.45 per share for the comparable period last fiscal 
year.  Net sales for the six months were $31,801,000, a 13% 
increase from net sales of $28,220,000 for the first six months 
last fiscal year.  The increase in sales was primarily due to 
higher sales of radio products and to sales of remote sensing 
products by the Company's International Imaging Systems division, 
which was acquired in August 1994.  The increase in net income 
resulted from higher gross profits on the higher sales, partially 
offset by increased selling expenses and research and development 
expenses.

Operating results for each business segment were as follows:

Sales of Communication Products and Services in the second quarter 
and in the first six months of fiscal 1996 were 40% higher and 28% 
higher, respectively, than they were in the comparable periods of 
fiscal 1995.  Sales were higher because of a faster turn around of 
new order bookings for standard radio products.

Gross profit on sales of Communication Products and Services was 
32.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 30.6% in 
the second quarter last fiscal year.  The increase in the recent 
quarter was primarily due to a reclassification of certain overhead 
expenses that occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 and 
which resulted in lower gross profits that quarter.  Gross profit 
for the first six months of fiscal 1996 was 32.0% of sales compared 
with 34.3% of sales for the first six months of fiscal 1995.  The 
decrease was primarily due to a less favorable sales mix of 
products and services in the recent six months and to higher 
materials and overhead expenses.

Operating income from sales of Communication Products and Services 
was 10.2% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 14.3% 
in the second quarter last fiscal year.  The decrease resulted 
primarily from higher international selling expenses and from 
higher administrative expenses related to the Company's decision 
not to continue pursuit of the satellite paging business.  
Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 1996 was 7.7% 
of sales compared with 10.6% of sales for the first six months of 
fiscal 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to lower gross 
profits, higher international selling expenses and higher 
administrative expenses.

Sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems products decreased 9% in the 
second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with the second quarter of 
fiscal 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to delays in receipt 
of several anticipated orders for remote sensing satellite systems.  
Sales in the first six months of fiscal 1996 were 4% higher than in 
the first six months of fiscal 1995.  The increase was primarily 
due to sales of remote sensing image processing products by this 
segment's International Imaging Systems division, which was 
acquired in August 1994.

Gross profit on sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems products was 
34.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 27.6% in 
the second quarter last fiscal year.  The increase was primarily 
due to lower manufacturing costs associated with a more favorable 
mix of profitable contracts.  Gross profit for the first six months 
of fiscal 1996 was 37.7% of sales compared with 29.2% of sales for 
the first six months of fiscal 1995 for the same reason.

Operating income from sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems products 
was 9.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 7.9% in 
the second quarter last fiscal year.  The increase resulted from 
higher gross profits, partially offset by higher research and 
development expenses and by higher international selling expenses.  
Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 1996 and the 
first six months fiscal 1995 was the same, 9.3% of sales.  Higher 
gross profits in the first half of fiscal 1996 were offset by 
higher research and development expenses and by higher 
international selling expenses. 

Consolidated expenses were as follows:

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,809,000 in the 
second quarter of fiscal 1996, a 30% increase compared with second 
quarter of fiscal 1995 expenses of $2,934,000.  The increase was 
primarily due to higher selling expenses associated with the 
Company's focus on international markets in both segments of its 
business.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 
first six months of fiscal 1996 were $7,503,000, a 24% increase 
from the first six months of fiscal 1995 expenses of $6,075,000 for 
the same reason.

Research and development (R & D) expenses were $704,000 in the 
second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with $369,000 in the second 
quarter last fiscal year.  The 91% increase resulted from an 
acceleration of development programs for Direct Broadcast Satellite 
(DBS) television antennas for recreational vehicles, long-haul 
trucks and commercial aviation.  R & D expenses in the first six 
months of fiscal 1996 were $1,699,000, a 142% increase from the 
first six months of fiscal 1995 expenses of $703,000.  The Company 
has identified the DBS television market for the mobile user as a 
potential major new market for its products.  R & D expenditures 
and new market development expenditures are likely to increase 
during the next several quarters as the Company seeks to establish 
a dominant position in that market.  The Company estimates that the 
increased spending will lower fiscal 1996 net income from what it 
would otherwise have been without the pursuit of the DBS market by 
as much as $1,300,000 or approximately $0.50 per share.

Order backlog at September 30 was as follows:

<PAGE> 8

The 15% decrease in Communication Products and Services backlog at 
September 30, 1995 resulted primarily from a faster turn around of 
new order bookings to sales during the first six months of fiscal 
1996 than for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The 30% 
decrease in Antenna and Imaging Systems backlog at September 30, 
1995 was primarily due to delays in receipt of several anticipated 
international orders for remote sensing systems and to a continued 
decline in U.S Department of Defense business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 1995, working capital was $17,193,000 compared 
with $14,241,000 at March 31, 1995, an increase of $2,952,000 or 
21%.  Major changes affecting working capital during this period 
were the following:  accounts receivable increased $4,128,000 due 
to strong September sales; inventories increased $1,286,000 to meet 
production requirements for new radio orders and for anticipated 
DBS antenna orders; and accounts payable and accrued expenses 
decreased $805,000.  The Company borrowed $1,200,000 in term debt 
from its bank during the first six months to meet the resulting 
cash requirement.

Capital equipment expenditures were $862,000 during the first six 
months of fiscal 1996 compared with $1,534,000 for the first six 
months last fiscal year.  The decrease was primarily due to lower 
purchases of equipment for the Communication Products and Services 
business segment.

On August 17, 1995, the Company increased the limit of its 
revolving credit line with its bank to $26,535,000, comprised of an 
$18,000,000 credit limit for the issuance of letters of credit and 
an $8,535,000 credit limit for direct working capital advances.  
The Company believes that its existing working capital, anticipated 
future cash flows from operations and available credit with its 
bank are sufficient to finance presently planned capital and 
working capital requirements.
