Smart Precision Optics

Smart Precision Optics (SPO) is an Israeli company specializing in the development and manufacturing of advanced precision optical components, free-form optics, and assemblies. Founded in 2018 as a spin-off from Shamir Optical Industry, SPO is headquartered in Kibbutz Shamir, Israel. The company operates as a full-service optical fabrication house, with capabilities that include optical design, CNC processing, surfacing, polishing, proprietary optical coatings, metrology, and cementing.

SPO serves clients across several high-tech markets, including defense, homeland security, medical, AR/VR, and automotive industries. It has established itself as a critical supplier to Israeli defense corporations, providing components for missile defense systems, armored vehicles, and next-generation high-power weapons. The company's business model focuses on providing both build-to-spec and build-to-print services, along with fast prototyping, to deliver complete solutions from raw materials to finished assemblies. SPO operates in the precision optics market, which was valued at nearly $29 billion in 2025, with a specific focus on the $3.3 billion high-precision segment.

In August 2025, Ondas Holdings announced a definitive agreement to acquire a 51% controlling stake in SPO. This strategic acquisition is intended to enhance Ondas' capabilities in advanced electro-optics, particularly for missile defense and counter-drone systems, by integrating SPO's military-grade manufacturing expertise. The leadership team includes CEO Shai Spiegler and Founder, VP of R&D and Engineering, Niv Adut.
