INKAS® successfully participated in CANSEC 2026, Canada’s leading defense and security exhibition, delivering one of its most comprehensive and forward-looking showcases to date. Held in Ottawa, CANSEC brought together defense professionals, government representatives, and industry leaders from across Canada. Throughout the exhibition, INKAS® maintained a strong presence across four booths, welcoming exhibitors and engaging in high-value discussions with procurement teams, institutional partners, and defense stakeholders. This year’s participation marked a significant milestone for INKAS®, highlighted by the unveiling of two new platforms alongside the continued presentation of the INKAS® M1 MRAP tactical armored vehicle.
INKAS® officially unveiled its INKAS® MLTV (Modular Light Tactical Vehicle), developed through a collaboration with INEOS Automotive and WELP Group. Built on a proven OEM platform with full factory-backed engineering and lifecycle support, the MLTV is designed as a next-generation replacement for legacy light utility vehicle fleets. Its modular architecture enables rapid configuration across multiple mission profiles, including armored transport, MEDEVAC, reconnaissance, assault, and search and rescue. The platform’s scalable bolt-on protection system allows for protection upgrades without compromising structural integrity or vehicle mobility, providing modern defense organizations with a highly adaptable and mission-ready platform.
CANSEC 2026 also marked the official unveiling of the INKAS® ANURI UAV. Developed by INKAS®, the ANURI UAV is a modular AI-guided counter-UAV interceptor designed for critical site defense and force protection. The platform features a quad-rotor X-VTOL configuration capable of silo, vehicle, or hand launch without the need for a prepared site. Designed around a modular architecture, the UAV supports rapid integration of payloads, sensors, and AI-guidance systems depending on mission requirements. Equipped with AI-assisted terminal guidance, ANVIL C2 integration, and GNSS-denied operational capability, the ANURI platform reflects INKAS®’ growing focus on advanced autonomous defense technologies and modern counter-drone operations. The unveiling represents a major expansion of INKAS®’ capabilities beyond protected mobility and into next-generation aerospace and autonomous defense systems.
Alongside the new unveilings, INKAS® continued showcasing the INKAS® M1 MRAP tactical armored vehicle, reinforcing the platform’s growing role within the company’s defense portfolio. Developed in collaboration with KNDS Mobility (formerly Texelis), the M1 represents a strategic partnership between Canadian and French defense manufacturing capabilities. Engineered to meet NATO operational standards, the platform is designed to prioritize survivability, mobility, and mission effectiveness in high-threat environments. Initially introduced earlier this year at the ‘International Armoured Vehicles’ conference, the M1 returned to CANSEC in an evolved configuration created to support a broader range of operational requirements and mission profiles. With advanced mobility systems, blast protection, and interoperability at its core, the M1 continues to position itself as a next-generation platform designed to support the operational needs of allied defense forces.
