Defense SPACs

The defense sector currently hosts three active SPACs in the blank-check market, all of which remain in the target-search phase with no announced business combinations as of mid-2026. Together, these vehicles reflect sustained institutional appetite for defense and aerospace transactions at a moment of elevated global security spending and modernization budgets. With a median of 501 days remaining before deadline, sponsors carry relatively extended runways to identify and negotiate acquisitions in a sector known for stringent regulatory scrutiny and national-security considerations that can complicate and lengthen deal timelines.
