Alpine Eagle’s Sentinel is the world’s first air-to-air counter drone system. Sentinel is an airborne sensor and interceptor network designed to detect, classify, and intercept unmanned aerial systems (UAS), including small drones, micro-UAVs, and loitering munitions. It provides early warning against hostile UAS and enables their interception at a stand-off distance – at low cost and without giving away the user’s location.

Alpine Eagle was co-founded by Jan-Hendrik Boelens, previously CTO at Volocopter and Chief Engineer at Airbus Helicopters, and Timo Breuer, Research Scientist at the Fraunhofer IOSB and Microsoft.
