INKAS has officially presented its new M1 Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected (MRAP) vehicle at Milipol Paris 2025, marking what the company described as a major step in its evolution as a defense manufacturer.
The unveiling showcased a platform developed over years of research, engineering, and testing, created in collaboration with the French firm Texelis.
According to the company, “we were proud to officially unveil the INKAS M1 MRAP, a vehicle that represents years of research, engineering, and development, and defines milestones in our company’s continued growth as a defense manufacturer.”
The M1 program emphasizes adaptability, survivability, and mobility for modern military operations.
Texelis, known for its mobility and powertrain expertise, provided a proven mobility package intended to increase the M1’s stability and off-road performance. As noted by INKAS, the partnership allows the vehicle to operate in difficult terrain while protecting crews from blast and ballistic threats.
The M1 is designed for operations in high-threat environments and provides full 360-degree ballistic and blast protection. INKAS said the vehicle’s structure supports a wide range of mission sets while retaining an agile, easy-to-deploy design.
The company stated in its exhibit materials that the M1 is “purpose-built for operations in high-threat environments,” with an architecture that supports different mission requirements. The MRAP uses NATO-compliant components to improve interoperability with allied forces and simplify maintenance during extended deployments.
INKAS emphasized that the M1 was designed around modularity. The chassis and mission architecture can be reconfigured for troop transport, reconnaissance, command-and-control, medical evacuation, or riot-control missions. The company says this approach supports militaries that require flexible platforms able to shift roles without major structural changes.
“At INKAS, we understand that every mission is unique,” the company said. “The M1’s modular chassis architecture allows for seamless reconfiguration across multiple roles, from troop transport and command-and-control to reconnaissance, medical evacuation, and riot-control.”
In a statement, INKAS CEO David Khazanski said, “The M1 represents a defining milestone for INKAS. It’s the result of years of R&D and collaboration, a purpose-built vehicle designed to perform in real-world missions. Its debut at Milipol Paris cements our commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions for global defense operations.”
Khazanski’s remarks underscored the company’s intention to grow its presence in the global armored vehicle market and to expand cooperation with international partners.
