Alpine Eagle develops the world's first air-to-air counter-drone system using AI, machine learning, and computer vision to detect and neutralize hostile drones including loitering munitions. Founded by former Airbus chief engineer Jan-Hendrik Boelens and Microsoft Research scientist Timo Breuer, the company secured contracts with the German Bundeswehr and achieved seven-figure revenue within its first year. Their Sentinel system provides airborne drone defense capabilities that overcome limitations of ground-based systems.
