ITEM 2 --	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
         	FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The forward-looking statements included in Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which reflect 
management's best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks 
and uncertainties.  Actual results could differ materially from those 
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of 
factors as discussed below.  Forward-looking information provided by DBA 
Systems pursuant to the safe harbor established by recent securities 
legislation should be evaluated in the context of these factors.

Business Environment

Over the past year the defense industry experienced further mergers and 
consolidations of Government contractors.  This trend is expected to increase 
in pace but decrease in size as the pool of candidate merger companies 
contracts.  The U.S. economy in general is enjoying a sustained period of low 
interest rates, unemployment and inflation.  On the other hand, the Federal 
Government continues to decrease in size and increase the scrutiny of its 
spending in the defense area as the country realizes a "peace dividend" 
resulting from the end of the Cold War.  Therefore, competition for available 
Government contracts remains intense, especially as merged firms are able to 
muster greater resources in the development and proposal process.  In response, 
the Company continues its policy of aggressively managing costs while focusing 
resources on new business opportunities with the greatest promise of success.

Liabilities remain at very low levels and liquid assets at very high levels 
while the Company poises itself to expand by taking advantage of commercial 
market opportunities.  Indirect costs have been maintained at low levels to 
enhance competitiveness in the fierce marketplace.  Meanwhile, the Company's 
two long-term traditional Government customers that make up two-thirds of the 
revenue base are projected to continue their current levels of revenues in the 
foreseeable future.

Reduction in the Department of Defense budget, continued Congressional and 
regulatory oversight of the Government procurement process, increased 
competition within the Company's traditional market niches, and the current 
Government procurement policy to award contracts based primarily on price and 
not exclusively on technical capabilities are all factors which may have a 
material effect on the Company's future operating revenues and profit margins. 
The Government's decisions regarding options presently held by the Company 
under existing contracts may also have an impact on the Company.  These trends 
may result in delays in previously anticipated contracts or the loss of 
anticipated business to competitors.  As a result, the reported financial 
information may not necessarily be indicative of the Company's future 
operating results or financial condition.

Results of Operations

During the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, DBA recorded revenues 
of $5,995,000, up $564,000 from the $5,431,000 recorded in the comparable 
three-month period in the prior fiscal year.  This revenue increase was driven 
by additional sales of $1,178,000 in Commercial Imagery Exploitation (CIE) 
versus offsetting decreased sales of $520,000 in Tactical Imagery Exploitation 
(TIE). CIE revenues consisted mainly of expanded sales in the fingerprint 
product area as well as completion of the $700,000 LightSAR study contract for 
NASA JPL  Tactical Imagery Exploitation revenue decreases were due to expected 
lower levels of material procured as the Common Imagery Ground/Surface System 
(CIGSS) contract moved into its second year of performance.  

Revenues for the six-month period ended December 31, 1997 equaled $11,660,000, 
roughly the same as $11,724,000 for the same period last fiscal year.  Revenue 
for CIE was $1,676,000, up 
<PAGE>6
by $1,541,000 over the same period last year, while revenue for TIE was 
$3,872,000, lower by $859,000 from the same period last year.  Reasons for these
trends are the same as discussed above for the second quarter results.  
Revenue in Proprietary Imagery Exploitation (PIE) for the first six months of 
this year was $3,766,000, an increase of $930,000 over the same period last 
year due to recovery to full DBA program manpower staffing levels as well as 
increased expenses in updating software and hardware capabilities. 

Operating income was $538,000 during the current three-month period, up 
$41,000 from  $497,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.  
Increase in total operating profit was driven by the increase in base revenues.

Operating income for the six-month period ended December 31, 1997 equaled 
$1,230,000, an increase of $199,000 over the same period last fiscal year.  
This operating margin increase from 8.8% to 10.5% was most notably driven by 
Systems Engineering/Development's more favorable performance reflecting 
successful completion of certain Avenger Tracker contracts.

During the three-month period ending December 31, 1997, the Company recorded 
new business bookings of $8,846,000 as compared to $4,939,000 in the prior 
year.  As a result, the backlog at December 31, 1997 was approximately 
$16,000,000, up by $2,700,000 as compared to the September 30, 1997 balance.  
Significant orders booked in the second quarter ended December 31, 1997, 
included $6,283,000 of continuing work for PIE and $1,636,000 of fingerprint 
jobs in CIE.  An order is entered into backlog only when the Company receives 
a definite commitment from a customer.  

Interest expense during the current period was $2,000 as compared to $38,000 
recorded in the comparable quarter in the prior fiscal year since all 
remaining debentures were liquidated in December 1996.  The Company has no 
long term debt.  Interest income for the six-month period ended December 31, 
1997 increased to $432,000 from  $365,000 as comparable to the same period 
last year mainly due to a higher cash balance of $1,892,000.

The Company currently accrues 38% of income before taxes for federal and 
state income taxes.

As a result of the above factors, net income was $386,000 in the current 
period as compared to $372,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year.  
Diluted earnings per share was $.09 for the three months ending December 31, 
1997 versus $.08 recorded in the comparable quarter in the prior fiscal year.

Net income for the six-month period ended December 31, 1997, equaled $920,000, 
an increase of $225,000 over the comparable period for last year.   Diluted 
earnings per share was $.21 compared to $.15 for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 1997 the Company had working capital of approximately 
$18,162,000, down $168,000 or .9%, when compared to the $18,330,000 as of 
June 30, 1997. Accounts receivable-net decreased $1,493,000 from $3,523,000 
at June 30, 1997 to $2,030,000 at December 31, 1997 due to efficient 
collection of outstanding trade receivables and aggressive pursuit of "past 
due" accounts.  Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on 
uncompleted contracts increased from $2,318,000 at June 30, 1997 to $3,575,000
at December 31, 1997 due to timing differences.  A large part of these timing 
differences was due to $554,000 of expenses on the new contract with CBM 
Archives.

The Company has been seriously studying several further investment 
opportunities in planning to utilize part of its remaining $14 million of 
cash in order to increase return-on-equity and enable the
<PAGE>7
Company to grow in revenue and income.  Additionally, in the first quarter of 
FY 98 the Company engaged The Robinson-Humphrey Company, Inc., investment 
bankers from, to develop, evaluate and report to the Board of 
Directors on alternatives to maximize shareholder value.  The alternatives 
evaluated by Robinson-Humphrey were not constrained and they covered the 
gamut including sale of the Company or a division thereof, merger acquisitions 
or divestitures, revising the Company's capital structure, and identifying 
possible strategic partners. 

In September 1997 the Company invested $1.6 million by purchasing convertible 
preferred Series B stock in Flash Comm, Inc. (FCI).  This investment will 
result in 6.2% ownership of FCI, or 7.2% if DBA exercises outstanding warrants.
DBA is the manufacturing partner for FCI, a start-up company which awarded a 
$10.6 million contract to DBA for the design, development, and manufacturing 
of asset monitors for its truck-trailer location device.

Subsequent to the close of the second quarter, on January 6, 1998, the Company 
announced acceptance by the DBA Board of Directors of a proposal by the Titan 
Corporation to acquire DBA Systems, Inc.  The proposal includes a stock-for-
stock swap of Titan common shares for DBA common shares computed with an 
exchange ratio of 1.367.  A special meeting of the DBA shareholders is 
expected to be held on February 27, 1998, to obtain the concurrence of the 
shareholders with the Titan proposal.

The Company's $4,000,000 unsecured line of credit with a bank expires January
31, 1999. Amounts drawn on this line of credit accrue interest at either the 
bank's prime rate or LIBOR plus 1.75% as selected by the Company upon the 
utilization of any portion of the line of credit.  The Company had no 
borrowings against the line of credit at December 31, 1997.
 
During the quarter ending December 31, 1997, the Company acquired capital 
equipment of approximately $82,000.

The Company believes liquidity and capital funding requirements for fiscal 
1998 can be internally satisfied from working capital.
