About
About Alpine Eagle
Alpine Eagle develops airborne counter-UAS systems for military and critical-infrastructure defence. Sentinel combines sensors carried by aircraft and on the ground with Sentinel-OS, creating a distributed architecture that detects and tracks low-altitude drone threats over a protected area.
Airborne radar extends line of sight and can reposition as the threat changes, while the operating system fuses tracks and supports command decisions across sensors and effectors. Alpine Eagle states that Sentinel has deployed with Ukrainian armed forces in combat environments. The company supplies integrated systems and field adaptation for defence users.
