About the Company

Alpine Eagle

Swarm UAV-based counter-UAS system

Alpine Eagle builds an air-to-air counter-drone system called Sentinel. It uses a swarm of networked, European-made UAVs equipped with 360-degree active radar to detect and track unauthorized drones, forming a layered defense against UAS threats. The system combines hardware (UAVs and radar) with software to coordinate detection, targeting, and response across the swarm. Unlike traditional counter-UAS solutions, Alpine Eagle focuses on a cost-efficient approach by leveraging a swarm of purpose-built drones rather than single large interceptors, aiming to provide scalable, networked defense for defense and security clients. Their goal is to offer a complete Sentinel package (hardware, software, and support) to protect critical airspace and assets from rogue drones, with a business model likely based on system sales plus maintenance and services.
