What Eoptic, Inc does

Eoptic, Inc. is a privately held imaging systems manufacturer founded in 2020 and headquartered in Rochester, New York (with an engineering and production facility in Williamson, NY). The company designs and builds multi-modal imaging hardware that fuses visible, SWIR, NIR, UV, and polarimetric sensors through a single aperture using a proprietary trichroic prism architecture, enabling sub-pixel-registered simultaneous capture across a 400-2200nm spectral range. Its product line centers on the Cambrian Technology platform delivered through the M-Series (Core for OEM integration and Edge with NVIDIA Orin-based onboard AI), plus two application-specific systems: SwiftEye for security, surveillance, and counter-UAS/C-USV, and DeepScan for space domain awareness. The portfolio is rounded out by the Alltonomous Software Platform, acquired in October 2023, which provides sensor fusion, digital-twin, and mission-management capabilities with integrations into TAK and Palantir Gotham C2 systems.

Eoptic's commercial model rests on three revenue streams: (1) hardware sales of integrated imaging systems and payloads, (2) subscription and platform fees for the Alltonomous software stack including ML/AI model training and deployment, and (3) professional services for custom system integration, payload development, and mission consulting. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with technical demonstrations and consultation-based pricing, and the channel mix emphasizes industry conferences (Space Symposium, SPIE Photonics West, Small Satellite Conference) plus content marketing. The customer base is anchored by U.S. Department of Defense agencies (U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, JSOC), with growing commercial penetration through partnerships with Scout Space, Teledyne Space, Starris/Optimax, APEX Space Systems, Prophesee, and a strategic research collaboration with the University of Rochester Medical Center.

The company is co-founded and led by Pano Spiliotis (CEO) and Tracie Spiliotis (CFO), who previously co-founded FluxData and sold it to Halma plc in 2017. The leadership team has been deliberately expanded in 2025-2026 with COO Michael George (ex-Picatinny DEVCOM), CTO Space Systems Kevin Kearney (ex-Starris/Optimax), VP Engineering Matt Kremens (ex-Ocean Insight/FluxData), and VP Business Development Evan Ihlenfeldt (ex-Lore Technology/Torrent Photonics). Other recent milestones include a $1.25M Direct-to-Phase II SBIR from the U.S. Air Force for the FOVEA passive counter-UAS system (December 2024), ISO 9001:2015 certification (February 2026), SPIE Prism Awards finalist recognition (2025), and the formation of a Space Systems Division in October 2025.

Core offering

Eoptic designs and manufactures purpose-built multi-modal imaging systems based on its proprietary Cambrian Technology, a trichroic-prism optical engine that captures visible, NIR, SWIR, UV, polarimetric, and event-based data through a single aperture with sub-pixel registration. The company sells the M-Series imaging engine (Core for OEM integration and Edge with NVIDIA Orin for onboard AI), vertical-specific systems (SwiftEye for security/C-UAS, DeepScan for space domain awareness, FOVEA for passive counter-UAS detection), and the Alltonomous software platform for sensor fusion, digital twin, and mission management. Offerings target defense, space, industrial metrology, and medical customers via direct enterprise sales, custom integration services, and subscription software.

Product overview

Eoptic specializes in purpose-built multimodal imaging solutions that combine proprietary Cambrian Technology with software, ML/AI, and complex system integration. The portfolio centers on the Cambrian Technology platform (single-aperture, multi-modal imaging with real-time fusion), delivered through the M-Series product line (Core for OEM integration and Edge for edge AI processing). Industry-specific products include SwiftEye for security/surveillance and DeepScan for space domain awareness. The Alltonomous Software Platform provides sensor fusion, digital twin, and mission management capabilities acquired in October 2023, extending the hardware-focused portfolio with comprehensive IoT and operational technology integration. Together, these products enable actionable intelligence across defense, space, industrial metrology, and medical markets.
