Space-Eyes, a defense geospatial and counter-drone technology firm, and special purpose acquisition company McKinley Acquisition Corp. announced a definitive business combination agreement on July 31, 2026, valuing the deal at $638 million. Eric Trump is investing in the merger and will serve as an advisor. McKinley secured up to $75 million through a private investment in public equity, including $5 million to be spent once the registration statement is filed with the SEC. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter, with the combined entity operating as Space-Eyes. Space-Eyes says its AI-powered counter-unmanned aerial systems platform, built on collaborative AI at the tactical edge, integrates radio frequency, electro-optical/infrared and satellite inputs in real time, and it plans to use third-party manufacturers to pursue government contracts worldwide.
