Eric Trump-Backed Defense-Tech Startup Space-Eyes to Go Public Via SPAC

Space-Eyes, a drone-fighting technology startup backed by Eric Trump, plans to go public through a merger with McKinley Acquisition, a special-purpose acquisition company. The firm develops systems designed to detect and counter drones and also operates a geospatial intelligence platform. As part of the process, Space-Eyes is expected to be publicly listed after the combination with McKinley Acquisition, though the available article text does not include figures such as valuation, deal size, or timing. The move signals continued investor interest in defense-adjacent unmanned-aircraft countermeasures, particularly for detection and operational situational awareness.
