Company Overview
Established in 1993, INKAS ARMORED VEHICLE MANUFACTURING was first commissioned to produce a heavily armored transport vehicle for a major European Bank. Since then, INKAS has grown into a leading international manufacturer of quality armored vehicles. Accommodating todays diverse market, INKAS now specializes in a wide range of custom security solutions for its clients, including Armored Transport Vehicles, Executive Armored SUVs/ Sedans and Special Purpose Vehicles . Personal and corporate security concerns have always been a top property for governments and corporations worldwide. New surges in terrorism have raised these concerns to an unprecedented level. Many organization and private individuals are now forced to dedicate a significant portion of their resources to defeating actual and potential threats of crime and terrorism. Through an individual approach to the needs and requirements of each of its clients, INKAS ARMORED VEHICLE MANUFACTURING is able to relieve this strain by supplying armored vehicles that guarantee safety and security while offering peace of mind.

Mission & Values

INKAS ARMORED VEHICLE MANUFACTURING prides itself on offering transport vehicles that ensure optimal defense against ballistic threats. Depending on the threat assessment discussed in consultation with the client, the vehicle of desired type and configuration is custom manufactured to suite specific needs. INKAS also Manufactures in such a way that the production level obtained exceeds the identified level of potential threat, thereby providing a significant margin of extra safety. The high levels of protection offered by INKAS protect not only against direct fire from modern assault rifles, but also against the high-power weapons that fire armor-piercing projections. To ensure the highest levels of protection, INKAS ARMORED VEHICLE MANUFACTURING uses a full assortment of advanced defensive technology. INKAS manufactures its products utilizing top quality ballistic steel and glass, plus the most modern composite and transparent ballistic materials available. The materials chosen for each vehicle are selected in accordance with the clients desired level of protection. These levels of protection are based on National and International Ballistic Standards. In its testing, INKAS refers to the standards established by the European Ballistic Standard, the Underwriters Laboratory, and the US National Institute of Justice.

Research and Development

LIGHTWEIGHT ARMOR The goal of this activity is to provide high levels of protection from ballistic threats in most economical and production-sound manner. The action plan is to improve an existing technology and implement it in design of commercial armored vehicles and beyond Strong demand in improved armor has emerged as a result of widening ballistic and blast threats and in rising fuel cost. To meet new challenges and to be at the forefront of the market, our company is heavily investing in Research and Development of High Mass Efficient Armor (Lightweight Armor) Main advantages of Lightweight Armor are: 1. Less modifications to vehicle chassis are required, making it more affordable 2. Lighter weight of vehicle, lighter armor and chassis (with less reinforcement), which improves fuel efficiency 3. Ability to utilize the same approach for watercrafts and aircrafts protection The new armor under development is a rigid composite armor with Mass Efficiency (areal density) similar to Titanium, but more technological in application and more cost effective. In addition to elevated ballistic protection this armor is designed to have better blast resistance (better protection against land mines and IEDs) The program is currently at advanced stage of its development. Unique equipment to produce test samples of High Mass Efficient Armor as well as facilities to test it have been designed and set up. Some unique intellectual property has been created on which the project will capitalize during production phase. The R&D activities are not limited only to the development of new armor, but incorporates new design of a few original armored vehicles for border control, for peace keeping missions as well as some special vehicles targeting elevated ability to function, protect and support troops in war zone

This begins with a thorough inspection of the chassis and ballistic materials, run through all stages of assembly and concludes with extensive tests of the finished vehicle.

Ballistic Information and Standards

The armored vehicles are built in compliance with National Institute of Justice levels of protection. NIJ Standard 0108.01 shown below:

Ballistic Information and Standards

Level of protection other than one of standard is called the special requirement. Example, AK-47 weapon of choice of terrorist and criminals (in excess of 50 millions in use) fits in between level III-A and level III, so it is a special requirement level of threat Though we use National Institute of Justice Standard to test and build our armor, we can use other national and international standards, both, civilian and military. The table below shows below shows the relation between a few popular ballistic standards.
