DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 1 -	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Description of Business
	CalAmp Corp. ("CalAmp" or the "Company") is a leading provider of wireless communications solutions for a broad array of applications to customers globally. The Company's business activities are organized into its Wireless DataCom and Satellite business segments.
	The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to February 28, which for fiscal 2014, a 52-week year, fell on March 1, 2014. The actual interim periods presented herein ended on November 29, 2014 and November 30, 2013, both consisting of 13 weeks. In the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the 2014 fiscal year end is shown as February 28 and the interim period end for both years is shown as November 30 for clarity of presentation.
	Certain notes and other information are condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2014.
	In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at November 30, 2014 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
	All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met at the time product is shipped, except for shipments made on the basis of "FOB Destination" terms, in which case title transfers to the customer and the revenue is recorded by the Company when the shipment reaches the customer. Customers generally do not have rights of return except for defective products returned during the warranty period. In the limited number of instances where customers have a right of return period, revenue is not recognized until the expiration of such period. The Company records estimated commitments related to customer incentive programs as reductions of revenues.
	The Company provides Software as a Service (SaaS) subscriptions for its fleet management and vehicle finance applications in which customers are provided with the ability to wirelessly communicate with monitoring devices installed in vehicles and other mobile assets via software applications hosted by the Company. The Company defers the recognition of revenue for the monitoring device products that are sold with application subscriptions because the application services are essential to the functionality of the products, and accordingly, the associated product costs are recorded as deferred costs in the balance sheet. The deferred product revenue and deferred product cost amounts are amortized to application subscriptions revenue and cost of revenue on a straight-line basis over the minimum contractual service periods of one year to three years. Revenues from renewals of data communication services after the initial one year term are recognized as application subscriptions revenue when the services are provided. When customers prepay application subscription renewals, such amounts are recorded as deferred revenues and are recognized over the renewal term.
	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly manner in an arms-length transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
	In accordance with the fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its investment in marketable securities on contract-by-contract basis at the time each contract is initially recognized in the financial statements.

FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS [Abstract]
FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS	NOTE 5 - FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
	Bank Credit Facility
	The Company has a credit facility with Square 1 Bank that provides for borrowings up to $15 million or 85% of eligible accounts receivable, whichever is less. The credit facility expires on March 1, 2017. Borrowings under this line of credit bear interest at the bank's prime rate. There were no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility at November 30, 2014 or February 28, 2014.
	The Square 1 Bank credit facility contains financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum level of earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other noncash charges ("EBITDA") and a minimum debt coverage ratio, both measured monthly on a rolling 12-month basis. At November 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the credit facility.
	Long-Term Debt
	Long-term debt is comprised of the following (in thousands):
		November 30,				February 28,
		2014				2014
	Note payable to Navman, net of unamortized discount	$	774			$	1,858
	Less portion due within one year		(577		)		-1,156
	Long-term debt	$	197			$	702
	The Navman Wireless (“Navman”) note is payable in the form of a 15% rebate on certain products sold by CalAmp to Navman under a five-year $25 million supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) that was entered into in May 2012 in conjunction with CalAmp's purchase of a product line from Navman. The unpaid balance of the Navman note would become immediately due and payable upon any termination of the Supply Agreement by the Company before the end of its five-year term (other than as a result of an uncured breach of the Supply Agreement by Navman), except that in the case of such acceleration the note balance would be subordinated to the Company's bank debt pursuant to the provisions of a debt subordination agreement. In the absence of an acceleration event, the Navman note is payable solely in the form of a rebate on products sold by CalAmp to Navman under the Supply Agreement. After all rebates have been applied to pay down the note balance, and assuming that an acceleration event has not occurred, any unpaid balance remaining on the Navman note would be forgiven at the later of May 7, 2017 or the final date to which the Supply Agreement is extended pursuant to a force majeure event. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014, the Company made principal payments of $1,272,000 and amortized $188,000 of the discount on the Navman note.
	Other Non-Current Liabilities
	Other non-current liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):
			November 30,				February 28,
			2014				2014
	Deferred revenue		$	1,744			$	1,977
	Acquisition-related contingent consideration			259				1,092
	Deferred compensation			1,984				131
	Deferred rent			354				98
			$	4,341			$	3,298
	The acquisition-related contingent consideration at November 30, 2014 is comprised of the $259,000 non-current portion of the total estimated remaining earn-out of $1,581,000 payable to the sellers in conjunction with the December 2013 acquisition of Radio Satellite Integrators, Inc.
	In August 2013, the Company adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which the executive officers and certain other management employees are eligible to participate whereby such officers and employees may defer a portion of their annual base and/or variable compensation until retirement or a date specified by the employee in accordance with the plan. Deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities as of November 30, 2014 were approximately $1,963,000 and $1,984,000, respectively, and are included in other assets and other non-current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at that date. Effective July 1, 2014, the plan was amended to include restricted stock units as a deferrable form of compensation and to allow non-employee directors to participate in the plan.

INCOME TAXES [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred income tax assets and a valuation allowance is provided, as necessary. In assessing this valuation allowance, the Company reviews historical and future expected operating results and other factors, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction and the carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, to determine whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable.
	The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Income tax returns filed for fiscal years 2009 and earlier are not subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. Certain income tax returns for fiscal years 2010 through 2014 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. Income tax returns for fiscal years 2010 through 2014 remain open to examination by tax authorities in Canada. In addition, the income tax return for fiscal year 2013 remains open to examination by tax authorities in New Zealand. The Company believes that it has made adequate provision for all income tax uncertainties pertaining to these open tax years.
	The effective income tax rate was 37.4% and 34.5% in the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE [Abstract]
EARNINGS PER SHARE	NOTE 7 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
	Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock-based awards using the treasury stock method. The following table sets forth the composition of weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
		November 30,		November 30,
		2014	2013	2014	2013
	Basic weighted average number of common

	Diluted weighted average number of common
	shares outstanding	36,526	36,206	36,508	35,901
	Shares underlying stock options of 146,000 and 65,000 at November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods then ended because based on the exercise prices of these derivative securities their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method.

CONCENTRATION OF RISK [Abstract]
CONCENTRATION OF RISK	NOTE 9 - CONCENTRATION OF RISK
	Because the Company sells into markets dominated by a few large service providers, a significant percentage of consolidated revenues and consolidated accounts receivable relate to a small number of customers. One customer of the Company's Satellite business segment accounted for 14% and 22% of consolidated revenues for the quarters ended November 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and accounted for 16% and 22% of consolidated revenues for the respective nine-month periods then ended.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES [Abstract]
PRODUCT WARRANTIES	NOTE 10 - PRODUCT WARRANTIES
	The Company generally warrants its products against defects over periods ranging from 3 to 24 months. An accrual for estimated future costs relating to products returned under warranty is recorded as an expense when products are shipped. At the end of each quarter, the Company adjusts its liability for warranty claims based on its actual warranty claims experience as a percentage of revenues for the preceding 12 to 24 months and also considers the impact of the known operational issues that may have a greater impact than historical trends. Accrued warranty costs are included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Activity in the accrued warranty costs liability for the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	Legal Proceedings
	In December 2013, a patent infringement lawsuit was filed against the Company. The lawsuit contends that certain of the Company's vehicle tracking products infringe on the patents held by the plaintiff and seeks injunctive and monetary relief. The Company believes that it has various offensive claims against the plaintiff, and intends to vigorously defend against this action. While the outcome of this matter is currently not determinable, management does not expect that the ultimate cost to resolve this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company's assessment of materiality may change in the future based upon the availability of discovery and further developments in any matters. No loss accrual has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for this matter.
	In addition to the foregoing matter, from time to time as a normal consequence of doing business, various claims and litigation may be asserted or commenced against the Company. In particular, the Company in the ordinary course of business may receive claims concerning contract performance, or claims that its products or services infringe the intellectual property of third parties. While the outcome of any such claims or litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of such matters existing at the present time would have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]
Description of Business	Description of Business
	CalAmp Corp. ("CalAmp" or the "Company") is a leading provider of wireless communications solutions for a broad array of applications to customers globally. The Company's business activities are organized into its Wireless DataCom and Satellite business segments.
	The Company uses a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to February 28, which for fiscal 2014, a 52-week year, fell on March 1, 2014. The actual interim periods presented herein ended on November 29, 2014 and November 30, 2013, both consisting of 13 weeks. In the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the 2014 fiscal year end is shown as February 28 and the interim period end for both years is shown as November 30 for clarity of presentation.
	Certain notes and other information are condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2014.
	In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position at November 30, 2014 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
	All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met at the time product is shipped, except for shipments made on the basis of "FOB Destination" terms, in which case title transfers to the customer and the revenue is recorded by the Company when the shipment reaches the customer. Customers generally do not have rights of return except for defective products returned during the warranty period. In the limited number of instances where customers have a right of return period, revenue is not recognized until the expiration of such period. The Company records estimated commitments related to customer incentive programs as reductions of revenues.
	The Company provides Software as a Service (SaaS) subscriptions for its fleet management and vehicle finance applications in which customers are provided with the ability to wirelessly communicate with monitoring devices installed in vehicles and other mobile assets via software applications hosted by the Company. The Company defers the recognition of revenue for the monitoring device products that are sold with application subscriptions because the application services are essential to the functionality of the products, and accordingly, the associated product costs are recorded as deferred costs in the balance sheet. The deferred product revenue and deferred product cost amounts are amortized to application subscriptions revenue and cost of revenue on a straight-line basis over the minimum contractual service periods of one year to three years. Revenues from renewals of data communication services after the initial one year term are recognized as application subscriptions revenue when the services are provided. When customers prepay application subscription renewals, such amounts are recorded as deferred revenues and are recognized over the renewal term.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements
	The Company applies fair value accounting for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly manner in an arms-length transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Level 3 – Inputs that are generally unobservable and typically reflect management's estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
	In accordance with the fair value accounting requirements, companies may choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its investment in marketable securities on contract-by-contract basis at the time each contract is initially recognized in the financial statements.
