Canadian defense firm INKAS took center stage at CANSEC 2026 with a new lineup of cutting-edge systems designed to support multi-domain missions.

The company showcased two key platforms: the INKAS Modular Light Tactical Vehicle (MLTV) and the INKAS ANURI Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).

INKAS MLTV: Multi-Mission Military Vehicle

Built on a proven Original Equipment Manufacturer platform, the MLTV features a modular architecture that allows rapid reconfiguration across a wide range of roles.

These include armored transport, reconnaissance, medical evacuation, assault operations, and search and rescue missions.

A key feature of the vehicle is its scalable bolt-on protection system, which enables survivability upgrades without requiring structural redesigns.

The approach is aimed at increasing operational flexibility while maintaining long-term readiness across diverse environments.

INKAS said the platform is designed to replace legacy light utility fleets and address evolving operational demands across military and institutional users.

“Legacy fleets are plagued by limited protection against modern threats and also a high sustainment burden,” said David Khazanski, chief executive officer of INKAS. 

“This is why the INKAS MLTV marks a new advancement in the armored light tactical vehicle market. Our platform offers lifecycle support, while being engineered for modularity, mission adaptability, and modern operational mobility.”

INKAS ANURI: AI-Powered Interceptor

The second system, ANURI, is an AI-powered drone interceptor featuring a modular twist-lock nose that allows payloads to be swapped within seconds.

It is designed to engage drones traveling at speeds of up to 400 kilometers (249 miles) per hour, supporting site defense and deployed force protection missions.

The interceptor can detect, track, and neutralize aerial threats in as little as 80 seconds at ranges of up to five kilometers (3 miles).

It is also built to operate in GNSS-denied environments, using inertial navigation combined with AI-based visual terminal homing.

Control is enabled through FPV piloting or AI-assisted terminal guidance, with the operator remaining in the loop during engagements.

ANURI can be launched by hand or from a vehicle, without requiring a prepared launch site.
