Last year, the company landed a $105 million contract with the Department of Defense to integrate Merlin Pilot software into the C-130J airlifter manufactured by Lockheed Martin.
Inflection Point chief executive Mike Blitzer will join the Merlin board as a result of the upcoming deal; Inflection Point's recent successes include two other companies launched through similar SPAC deals, USA Rare Earth (current market cap of $1.7 billion) and Intuitive Machines (worth $1.6 billion today).
