Alpine Eagle GmbH, founded in 2023 and based in Munich, Germany, is a defense-technology startup developing AI-powered counter-drone systems. Its primary product, Sentinel, is described as an airborne system designed to detect, track, and neutralize hostile unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The system's operating software is hardware-agnostic, allowing deployment across various manned and unmanned platforms.
The company operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor fusion, machine learning, and aerospace. Its technology addresses needs in defense, military force protection, critical infrastructure security, and civilian population safety. Sentinel has seen early adoption by the German Bundeswehr and is undergoing active operational testing in Ukraine.
Alpine Eagle secured €10.25 million in seed funding. Within its first year of operation, the company reported seven-figure revenue, indicating early commercial traction in the defense sector.
