Sentinel
Sentinel is an airborne counter-UAS platform that detects, tracks and intercepts hostile drones before they reach their target. It coordinates multiple airborne assets — Sentry sensor platforms, Sparrowhawk interceptors, and the Sentinel OS operating system — through a single unified software layer. Real-time sensor fusion from active and passive sensors enables threat detection and classification at range, with edge processing to minimise response latency. The architecture is modular and can be deployed as a complete capability or integrated with existing radar, C2 and ground-based air-defence systems.
About
Alpine Eagle is a defence technology company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Munich, Germany. It builds airborne counter-UAS systems for military and security forces, focusing on threats that ground-based defences struggle to address — fast, low-altitude drones operating in contested airspace.
