6.      Investment

The Company invested $890,000 in preferred stock of EarthWatch 
Incorporated during the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  This 
investment is being carried at cost which the Company believes 
approximates its fair value.

7.      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.

In January 1996, the Company and its bank amended the revolving 
credit line to increase the limit for direct working capital 
advances to $10,535,000 and to reduce the limit for issuances of 
letters of credit to $16,000,000.  This increase in working capital 
credit is temporary to meet short-term cash requirements, and 
expires on March 31, 1996.


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.

<PAGE>6
Order Cancellation

In the third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company learned that its 
customer for an $8.8 million remote sensing satellite (RSS) image 
processing facility intended for installation in the Middle East 
was not able to obtain funding for the order.  The Company had 
booked and announced this order in July 1995 and commenced work on 
it shortly thereafter.  The Company's customer, who is acting as 
prime contractor for a larger project that includes the RSS 
facility, has not been able to obtain funding from its customer for 
the image processing facility.  Because the order was conditioned 
upon funding, and after an extensive assessment of its likelihood 
of being funded, the Company canceled the order in January 1996 for 
lack of payment.  Negotiations to reinstate the order are underway, 
but it is not possible as of the date of this filing to determine 
the outcome.

After a careful examination of the facts and circumstances, the 
Company concluded, because the RSS order was conditioned upon 
funding that has not been obtained, that its financial statements 
for the second quarter ended September 30, 1995 required 
restatement to remove from net sales for the quarter $1,785,000 
attributable to the order and originally included in net sales 
using the percentage completion method of accounting.  The canceled 
RSS order also had a significant impact on financial results for 
the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  The discussion that follows 
includes the effects of the RSS order cancellation on third quarter 
financial results.

Results of Operations

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 decreased 81% to 
$177,000 or $0.07 per share compared with net income of $926,000 or 
$0.36 per share in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  Net sales in 
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were $19,339,000, a 7% increase 
from net sales of $18,151,000 in the third quarter last fiscal 
year.  The increase in sales was due to higher sales of radio 
products, partially offset by lower sales of remote sensing 
systems.  The decrease in net income resulted primarily from the 
write-off of non recoverable expenses associated with the canceled 
RSS order, higher research and development expenses and higher 
selling expenses.

Net income for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 decreased 
56% to $919,000 or $0.34 per share compared with net income of 
$2,092,000 or $0.81 per share for the comparable period last fiscal 
year.  Net sales for the nine months were $49,355,000, a 6% 
increase from net sales of $46,371,000 for the first nine months 
last fiscal year.  The increase in sales was primarily due to 
higher sales of radio products, partially offset by lower sales of 
remote sensing systems.  The decrease in net income resulted 
primarily from higher research and development expenses, higher 
selling expenses and the write-off of non recoverable expenses 
associated with the canceled RSS order, partially offset by higher 
gross profits on the higher sales.

Operating results for each business segment were as follows:

</TABLE>		 
Sales of Communication Products and Services increased 102% in the 
third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with the third quarter of 
fiscal 1995.  The increase was due to the shipment of an $8.3 
million radio products order to a customer in Asia.  Sales in the 
first nine months of fiscal 1996 were 55% higher than in the first 
nine months of fiscal 1995.  The increase was due to the $8.3 
million sale and to a faster turn around of new order bookings for 
standard radio products.

<PAGE>7

Gross profit on sales of Communication Products and Services was 
35.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 32.3% in 
the third quarter last fiscal year.  The increase in the recent 
quarter was primarily due to a more favorable mix of products and 
services.  Gross profit for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 
was 33.4% of sales compared with 33.6% of sales for the first nine 
months of fiscal 1995.  The difference is not meaningful.

Operating income from sales of Communication Products and Services 
was 19.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 10.8% 
in the third quarter last fiscal year.  The increase resulted 
primarily from higher gross profits on the higher sales.  Operating 
income for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 was 13.3% of sales 
compared with 10.7% of sales for the first nine months of fiscal 
1995.  Although selling, administrative, and research and 
development expenses increased in the recent nine-month period, 
they declined as a percentage of the higher sales, resulting in the 
higher operating income percentage.

</TABLE>
Sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems products decreased 38% in the 
third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with the third quarter of 
fiscal 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to lower sales of 
remote sensing satellite systems, including sales not realized as a 
result of the RSS order cancellation referred to above.  The awards 
of several orders for such systems have been delayed.  It is 
uncertain whether these delayed orders will be awarded and whether 
the Company will receive those orders if they are awarded.  Sales 
in the first nine months of fiscal 1996 were 19% lower than in the 
first nine months of fiscal 1995.  The decrease was primarily due 
to lower sales of remote sensing satellite systems.

Gross profit on sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems products was 
14.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with 29.7% in 
the third quarter last fiscal year.  The decrease was primarily due 
to higher expenses associated with sales of remote sensing systems 
and to the write-off of non recoverable expenses associated with 
the canceled RSS order.  Gross profit for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1996 was 29.2% of sales compared with 29.4% of sales for the 
first nine months of fiscal 1995.  The higher expenses incurred in 
the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were offset by lower manufacturing 
costs associated with a more favorable mix of profitable contracts 
during the first six months of fiscal 1996.

An operating loss from sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems 
products of 17.4% was incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 
compared with operating income of 10.2% in the third quarter last 
fiscal year.  The loss resulted primarily from lower gross profits.  
Although other operating expenses for the third quarters of fiscal 
1996 and fiscal 1995 were comparable, they increased as a 
percentage of the lower sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, 
resulting in a decrease in the operating income percentage.  An 
operating loss of 1.8% was incurred for the first nine months of 
fiscal 1996 compared with operating income of 9.7% for the first 
nine months of fiscal 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to 
higher research and development expenses and higher selling 
expenses, partially offset by lower administrative expenses.

<PAGE>8

Consolidated expenses were as follows:

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,812,000 in the 
third quarter of fiscal 1996, a 3% increase compared with third 
quarter of fiscal 1995 expenses of $3,710,000.  The increase was 
primarily due to higher selling expenses associated with the 
Company's focus on international markets in both segments of its 
business, partially offset by lower administrative expenses.  
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine 
months of fiscal 1996 were $11,215,000, a 15% increase compared 
with expenses of $9,785,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 
1995.  The increase was primarily due to higher international 
selling expenses.

Research and development (R & D) expenses were $746,000 in the 
third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared with $294,000 in the third 
quarter last fiscal year.  The 154% 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 nine 
months of fiscal 1996 were $2,445,000, a 145% increase from 
expenses of $997,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1995.  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 December 31 was as follows:

</TABLE>

The 62% decrease in Communication Products and Services backlog at 
December 31, 1995 was due to the absence of a $10 million radio 
order that was in backlog a year ago and which shipped in the 
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.  As a result, sales of Communication 
Products and Services in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 are 
likely to be lower than they were in the fourth quarter of fiscal 
1995.  The 46% decrease in Antenna and Imaging Systems backlog at 
December 31, 1995 was primarily due to the previously mentioned RSS 
order cancellation, continued customer delays in the award of 
several anticipated international orders for remote sensing systems 
and to a continued decline in U.S Department of Defense business.  
Primarily due to the RSS order cancellation and to delayed remote 
sensing system orders, sales of Antenna and Imaging Systems in the 
fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 are likely to be lower than they were 
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

At December 31, 1995, working capital was $21,408,000 compared with 
$14,241,000 at March 31, 1995, an increase of $7,167,000 or 50%.  
Major changes affecting working capital during this period were the 
following:  accounts receivable increased $6,451,000 primarily due 
to strong third quarter radio sales; inventories increased 
$4,730,000 to meet production requirements for anticipated orders; 
income taxes payable decreased $2,046,000; and accounts payable and 
accrued expenses increased $2,232,000.  The Company borrowed 
$7,400,000 in term debt from its bank during the first nine months 
to meet the resulting cash requirement.

Capital equipment expenditures were $1,987,000 during the first 
nine months of fiscal 1996 compared with $1,753,000 for the first 
nine months last fiscal year.  The increase was primarily due to 
purchases of equipment related to the DBS antenna business and to 
higher leasehold improvements.

<PAGE>9
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. In 
January 1996, the Company and its bank amended the revolving credit 
line to increase the limit for direct working capital advances to 
$10,535,000 and to reduce the limit for issuances of letters of 
credit to $16,000,000.  This increase in working capital credit is 
temporary to meet short-term cash requirements, and expires on 
March 31, 1996.  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.
