A defence-technology company backed by Eric Trump is preparing to go public through a $638 million SPAC merger, deepening the Trump family’s already extensive ties to the national-security industry.
Space-Eyes, a Miami-based geospatial intelligence firm, would list through a blank-cheque deal, following the path of Foundation, another Eric Trump-backed defence venture now winning Pentagon contracts.
Space-Eyes is a niche but strategic player. Founded in 2001, the roughly 35-person company builds satellite-based AI that tracks maritime activity, trade flows, and other security signals for governments and businesses.
Its focus sits at a sensitive intersection. Maritime domain awareness, the monitoring of ships and ports, has become a priority for Western militaries wary of sanctions-busting and grey-zone activity at sea.
