A Ukrainian-developed laser air defence system known as “Tryzub” has been configured for mobile deployment and is undergoing final testing, with its developer reporting multi-range capability against different types of drones, Militarnyi reports.
The system is developed by Ukrainian company Celebra Tech and is designed to counter aerial threats ranging from small FPV drones to larger reconnaissance and strike UAVs.
The Tryzub system has been mounted on a trailer-based mobile platform, allowing it to be transported and rapidly deployed between different operational areas. The configuration effectively turns the laser into a mobile anti-drone system designed to protect infrastructure, military positions, or other high-risk sites depending on evolving threats.
5 km capability against Shahed-type drones
According to Celebra Tech, Tryzub can engage reconnaissance drones at distances of up to 1,500 meters, while FPV drones can be targeted at around 800–900 meters.
The company told Militarnyi that in its latest configuration the system demonstrates potential capability of engaging aerial targets at distances of up to 5 km, including Shahed-type drones.
AI-assisted targeting linked with radar tracking systems
Developers say the system incorporates AI-based target acquisition and tracking, along with radar integration designed to improve detection and tracking of incoming aerial threats.
These features are intended to allow the system to process flight paths and improve targeting precision during engagements.
Trailer-mounted platform designed for rapid redeployment
The Tryzub system is being designed with mobility in mind, mounted on a trailer platform to allow deployment in different operational zones depending on threat levels.
Celebra Tech also notes potential additional uses beyond air defence, including demining applications.
Publicly revealed in 2024, now in final testing phase
According to Militarnyi, the system was first publicly referenced in late 2024 by Vadym Sukharevsky, then commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces. Since then, it has progressed through development and testing stages.
In April 2025, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces demonstrated early testing, including use against ground targets and laser interference against a FPV drone camera.
The system remains under development, with further testing and evaluation ongoing, Militarnyi reported.
