INKAS Defense and Aerospace has developed a high-speed AI-enabled interceptor drone, officially launched today (May 28) at CANSEC 2026 in Ottawa. The INKAS ANURI UAV is designed to detect, track and neutralise drone threats and is suitable for critical site defence and deployed force protection operations, with a time-to-target of under 80 seconds at a distance of five kilometres.
Specifically designed as a modular counter-drone platform, it is designed to be rapidly deployed via quad-rotor extended vertical takeoff and landing (X-VTOL), silo, vehicle or hand launch without the need for a prepared launch site.
A modular twist-lock nose enables reconfiguration between warhead, sensor or AI guidance. Operation of the system is conducted either through First-Person View (FPV) pilot control or AI-assisted terminal guidance, while keeping the operator in-the-loop.
INKAS says the ANURI UAV has been engineered to defeat consumer, commercial and modified FPV drone threats traveling at speeds of up to 400 km/h and beyond. It can operate in GNSS-denied environments through inertial navigation and AI visual terminal homing.
