TrophyLab gives approved engineers, researchers and defence technology manufacturers access to a catalogue of Russian weapons and related research findings. Users can review the available material online or request samples for offline examination.
The database draws information from units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Defence Intelligence of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine. Specialised research institutions also provide data obtained from captured Russian equipment.
Registered researchers can request weapon samples, components or fragments for independent study. The ministry said the process is intended to accelerate the development of countermeasures against Russian weapon systems.
Companies must submit an application through the TrophyLab website before gaining access to the database. The platform administrator verifies the information and then sends an agreement and formal undertaking for signature.
Applicants are screened to ensure they have no links to Russia and are not subject to Ukrainian or international sanctions. They must also meet all other mandatory eligibility requirements set for the platform.
The ministry said TrophyLab provides a rapid, transparent and secure channel for exchanging information about Russian weapons. It is also intended to support the defence capabilities of Ukraine’s partner countries and contribute to wider international security.
