Exhibit 31.1

CERTIFICATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

I, Thomas R. Dickinson, certify that:

1)   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of
     Miltope Group, Inc. (the "registrant");

2)   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
     necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
     under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect
     to the period covered by this report;

3)   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements and other
     financial information included in this report, fairly
     present in all material respects the financial condition, results
     of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the
     periods presented in this report;

4)   The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible
     for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures
     (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the
     registrant and have:

     a)   Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
          such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under
          our supervision, to ensure that material information relating
          to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries,
          is made known to us by others within those entities,
          particularly during the period in which this report is being
          prepared;

     b)   Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
          controls and procedures and presented in this report our
          conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
          and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
          report based on such evaluation; and

     c)   Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's
          internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
          the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
          affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
          registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and

5)   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have
     disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control
     over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
     committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing
     the equivalent function):

     a)   All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
          design or operation of internal control over financial reporting
          which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
          ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
          information; and

     b)   Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
          or other employees who have a significant role in the
          registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
