Introducing the Sentinel Airborne Counter-UAS Solution

Alpine Eagle GmbH presents the Sentinel Airborne Counter-Unmanned Aerial System (C-UAS), a versatile and innovative solution tailored for defense and security needs. By utilizing commercially available components, this system offers a budget-amiable yet state-of-the-art performance. The modular design of Sentinel allows for extensive threat detection and neutralization capabilities, integrating smoothly with various command-and-control (C2) systems and both kinetic and non-kinetic effectors. This adaptability makes it ideal for a wide range of operational contexts, including mobile convoy security and the protection of critical infrastructure.

Enhanced Surveillance with Swarming UAVs

Sentinel employs a fleet of swarming UAVs, each outfitted with active radar sensors and optional electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) cameras, effectively addressing the limitations of traditional ground-based systems. Each UAV offers a 120-degree radar field of view, but when operating in unison, the swarm achieves thorough 360-degree coverage. This capability allows for continuous monitoring in challenging environments, such as urban areas, mountainous terrains, or regions were GNSS signals are unavailable. the system can reliably detect and classify Group 1-2 UAS, loitering munitions, and ground targets from distances of up to 4 kilometers, facilitating early warnings and intercepts from safe distances. Its robust architecture guarantees consistent operation, even in environments where GNSS and communication signals are compromised.

clever Target discrimination

With advanced onboard edge AI processing, Sentinel correlates sensor data across the UAV swarm, enabling accurate target identification and trajectory analysis while minimizing communication requirements. The system effectively differentiates genuine threats from background noise, such as birds, debris, or structures, ensuring precise situational awareness in contested areas. Furthermore, the operatorS location remains concealed during missions, protecting against potential adversarial countermeasures and enhancing operational security.

Proven Performance and Global Applicability

In 2024, the Sentinel system underwent successful trials with the Bundeswehr, a NATO member, confirming its readiness for real-world applications. Its modular design, based on commercially available components, positions it as an ideal military off-the-shelf (MOTS) solution for defense forces and security agencies globally. Whether utilized for convoy protection, base defense, or surveillance of critical infrastructure, Sentinel merges affordability with advanced technology, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding conditions.
