Alpine Eagle raises €10.25M to revolutionize counter-drone warfare As drones become a dominant force in modern conflicts,
Alpine Eagle is stepping up with a next-gen
airborne counter-drone system. The Munich-based startup has secured
€10.25M ($10.96M) in Series A funding to scale its
Sentinel technology - an innovative, cost-effective solution to neutralize hostile drones.
🔥
The Growing Threat Cheap
FPV drones ($500) can
destroy multi-million-dollar tanks, exposing weaknesses in traditional defense systems. Many
ground-based solutions struggle with
high costs and terrain limitations, making
affordable, scalable countermeasures more urgent than ever.
🛰 How Sentinel Works
Unlike
stationary counter-drone turrets,
Sentinel is airborne, offering key advantages:
✅
No terrain restrictions – It detects and engages threats regardless of obstacles
✅
Not a static target – Unlike fixed defenses, it can reposition and avoid attacks
✅
Active threat elimination – Uses
kamikaze interceptors to capture or destroy enemy drones
✅
AI-powered adaptability – Learns from real-world data to refine its tactics

Strong Backing from European Investors:
Alpine Eagle’s funding round was
led by British deep-tech VC IQ Capital, alongside
General Catalyst, HCVC, and funds from Estonia, Germany, and Poland. The startup aimed for a consortium of investors aligned with the
need to strengthen Europe’s defense tech ecosystem.
⚔️
Beyond the Battlefield While the primary focus is
military defense, Alpine Eagle sees broader applications in
securing military bases, critical infrastructure, and law enforcement operations. The
UK is a key expansion market, reinforcing the company’s growing European footprint.
🛡️The Future of Defense Tech
Alpine Eagle is part of a new wave of
AI-driven defense startups pushing the boundaries of
autonomous security solutions. The
goal? Fewer soldiers operating
large-scale drone swarms, shifting their role from piloting to
mission management - a game-changer in modern warfare.
With its AI-powered counter-drone swarms,
affordable production, and
strategic European backing, Alpine Eagle is set to become a
key player in next-gen defense technology.
