Founded by CEO Jan-Hendrik Boelens, a former Airbus chief engineer, and Director Timo Breuer, a former Microsoft Research scientist, Alpine Eagle is focused on countering aerial threats. Their flagship product, Sentinel, is a hardware-agnostic system designed to integrate with both commercial and customised uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) to detect and neutralise hostile drones.
HTGF stated that the newly secured funding will be used to further develop Sentinel, expand the company’s commercial teams, and prepare for international growth. The investment comes as autonomous warfare and drone-based threats continue to rise globally.
Alpine Eagle recently participated in a German Federal Armed Forces warfighting experiment, where Sentinel was tested in real-world operational conditions. The company also trialled a swarm of four sensor drones working together to detect hostile aerial threats, demonstrating its advanced capabilities.
