About Circle Optics, Inc.

Circle Optics is a Rochester, New York-based optical imaging company developing advanced panoramic imaging systems for defense, aerospace, autonomy and intelligent machines. Our patented optical architecture enables high-resolution, stitch-free panoramic capture by solving image alignment optically at the point of capture. This approach reduces parallax, latency and computational burden, providing high-quality visual data for human operators, computer vision, AI and autonomous systems. Our Hydra and Pegasus imaging platforms support mission-critical applications including Counter-UAS, Detect and Avoid, autonomous navigation, ISR, perimeter security, 3D mapping, immersive training, and maritime and ground situational awareness. Circle Optics combines expertise in optical engineering, mechanical systems, software and computer vision. We work with government organizations, defense primes, systems integrators and technology partners to integrate panoramic visual intelligence into broader sensing and autonomy architectures. Our approach to partnership: • Build Capability: Understand the mission and system requirements rather than simply sell a camera. • Demonstrate Performance: Validate technology through demonstrations, evaluations and testing. • Integrate Intelligently: Complement radar, RF, EO/IR, LiDAR and other sensing technologies. • Stay Mission-Focused: Start with the operational need and determine where panoramic visual intelligence can add meaningful capability. Founded in 2017, Circle Optics is headquartered in Rochester, New York, at the heart of one of the world's leading optics and photonics ecosystems. When machines must capture everything, they capture with Circle Optics.
