The G-003 Tri-Tracker was a ground-based anti-aircraft artillery laser cannon, produced by CoMar Combat Systems as a successor to the G-001 Tracker for the Imperial Military.

Though its range was somewhat limited, the Tri-Tracker's three advanced targeting sensor arrays made it a highly accurate weapon comparable to a turbolaser. This accuracy was supplemented by the Tri-Tracker's tri-beam burst method of firing, which bracketed the target's predicted location. A two-man crew was required for the best performance, though their job could be replaced by two specially programed droids. While one crewman was able to operate the Tri-Tracker, its accuracy decreased by 40%.

The Tri-Tracker took three times longer to reset than to fire, resulting in a slow rate-of-fire that allowed individual units to be overwhelmed easily. For this reason Tri-Trackers usually operated as part of a permanent air defense system, coordinated by a network fire control unit. A long set-up and calibration time made them unpopular as a mobile system, though they could be maneuvered on heavy-duty repulsor sleds. Tri-Trackers could draw power from land-based lines, generators or the reserve battery, although the last option was rarely employed due to the system's high power demands.
