Defense SPACs
3 active SPACs targeting Defense with $575.3M in trust.
The defense sector currently hosts three active SPACs, all of which remain in search mode with no announced business combinations as of mid-2026. Each vehicle continues to seek acquisition targets across defense technology, aerospace, and national security verticals, with a median of 548 days remaining until their respective deadlines, providing meaningful runway to identify and close transactions. The absence of any announced deals reflects the elevated bar sponsors face when sourcing defense-focused targets that must satisfy stringent regulatory and national security requirements. Sponsor identity and filing details vary across the three active vehicles.
