The Trypillian Glider is a low-cost, high-altitude system designed to overcome sophisticated Integrated Air Defense Systems (IADS). By utilizing an aerostat-launch method and a modular guidance suite, the system is engineered to operate in the total absence of GPS and video signals, relying instead on CRPA antennas, visual positioning, and inertial navigation.

The objective of this project was to visualize the economic and tactical advantages of a mass-scale glider deployment. We designed a narrative that tracks the system from assembly through its 20km-altitude ascent, highlighting the modularity of its five core navigation components. By showcasing a large-scale launch, we illustrated the "wall of death" concept: using mass and decoys to saturate and exhaust expensive enemy interceptors.

To maintain clarity across a mission of this scale, we utilized a transition between photorealism and stylized data visualization. The photorealistic sequences ground the hardware in reality, from the assembly on a military airfield to the final, high-stakes POV descent. In contrast, the stylized digital theater allowed us to map out complex strategic data: altitude tracking, economic cost-comparison (expendable glider vs. $1M interceptor), and the final 50m shrapnel radius upon detonation.

The result is a comprehensive look at how Trypillian combines low-cost manufacturing with high-end navigational redundancy to achieve mission success in the most contested airspaces.
