## About

Based in France, Alta Ares SAS specializes in providing advanced drone technology solutions that leverage artificial intelligence for real-time data processing and analysis. Alta Ares was founded in 2024 by Hadrien Canter (CEO), Stanislas Walch, Theo Bondarec, and Alain Henry, in France and focuses on innovative drone technology applications. In June 2026, Alta Ares raised EUR 50 million in venture funding led by Air Street Capital, with participation from Cherry Ventures, OTB Ventures, Atlantic Vantage Point, and Harpoon Ventures. Alta Ares specializes in advanced drone technology applications aimed at real-time data processing through artificial intelligence. Their core offering includes an Android application designed to utilize drone-captured imagery for the detection, recognition, localization, and tracking of various industrial and military objects. This application operates independently of cloud connectivity, enhancing its operational capabilities in diverse environments. Alta Ares targets a range of customers, including military organizations and industrial sectors that require precise surveillance and monitoring solutions. Their products are positioned in international markets, catering to customers in North America, Europe, and select regions in Asia where drone technology is rapidly being adopted for both security and industrial applications. Alta Ares generates revenue through direct transactions with clients, structured around their flagship AI-enabled detection application. The business model primarily focuses on B2B partnerships, engaging with military and industrial entities that require robust surveillance capabilities. Clients typically enter into agreements for software subscriptions that grant them access to the application’s suite of features, with tailored pricing plans reflecting the specific needs and scale of the client’s operations. Transactions may also involve annual licensing fees for the technology, ensuring ongoing access to updates and support. The company’s revenue model is designed to align closely with the specific demands of their customer base, facilitating a sustainable flow of income through long-term partnerships and contractual agreements. The company will use the funding to accelerate industrialisation, product development, and international expansion of its AI-powered air defence systems.
