Mgi Engineering Unveils Game-Changing Long-Range Drone Technology
MGI Engineering to Unveil Revolutionary Long-Range Strike Drone, TigerShark, at DSEI 2025
The UK-based defence company MGI Engineering’s defence arm will unveil its highly anticipated long-range autonomous strike drone, TigerShark, at this year’s DSEI exhibition in London. This cutting-edge system promises to deliver cruise missile-level performance at a fraction of the cost of conventional equivalent systems, making it an attractive option for allied nations seeking affordable and scalable long-range strike capabilities.
Designed and built in the UK, TigerShark is the latest addition to MGI Engineering’s family of autonomous drones, which already includes the recently launched SkyShark tactical drone. With its advanced technology and modular design, TigerShark is poised to revolutionize the way defence forces conduct deep-strike missions against defended, high-value targets.
Capable of carrying a 300kg modular payload over 750km at subsonic speeds of 750km/h, TigerShark is optimized for operations in GPS-denied and communications-contested environments. This means that it can navigate and strike targets even when traditional navigation systems are compromised by enemy jamming or spoofing attempts. To achieve this level of autonomy, TigerShark employs Auterion’s advanced systems, which provide enhanced guidance and terminal accuracy.
The system’s open architecture design supports rapid in-service upgrades and a wide range of payload options, from high-explosive warheads to electronic warfare and decoy packages. This flexibility allows defence forces to adapt TigerShark to their specific needs and operational requirements, making it an extremely versatile platform for deep-strike missions.
One of the key benefits of TigerShark is its ability to operate in environments where traditional cruise missiles would be vulnerable to air defence systems. By combining payload flexibility, survivability, and sovereign UK manufacture, TigerShark offers a credible alternative to conventional cruise missile systems that are often too expensive and too complex for many nations.
The demand for affordable, scalable long-range strike capabilities has never been greater, driven by the growing threat of A2/AD environments. Defence forces are looking for solutions that can deliver precision strike at scale, while also supporting their operational requirements. With TigerShark, MGI Engineering is providing a platform that meets this need, while also promoting sovereign capability and supporting the UK’s defence industry.
TigerShark addresses a growing need among allied nations for affordable, scalable long-range strike capabilities in an era of increasingly sophisticated A2/AD environments. By combining payload flexibility, survivability, and sovereign UK manufacture, MGI Engineering is offering a platform that can deliver precision strike at scale.
The system’s modular design philosophy extends to the SkyShark tactical drone, which was launched by MGI Engineering earlier this year. While SkyShark provides a compact, cost-effective platform for short-to-medium range operations with a 20kg payload, TigerShark extends the concept to the strategic deep-strike domain, combining longer range and heavier payloads with the same modular design philosophy.
The UK’s defence industry has been at the forefront of innovation in drone technology, and MGI Engineering is proud to be leading the way. With TigerShark, the company is demonstrating its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of defence forces around the world.
TigerShark will make its public debut at DSEI 2025, ExCeL London, 9–12 September, where the MGI team will brief defence stakeholders on its technical performance, manufacturing roadmap, and export availability. This is an opportunity for defence professionals to learn more about TigerShark and how it can support their operations.
The launch of TigerShark at DSEI 2025 marks a significant milestone in the development of MGI Engineering’s autonomous drone family. As the world becomes increasingly complex and challenging, defence forces are looking for solutions that can deliver precision strike at scale. With TigerShark, MGI Engineering is providing a platform that can meet this need, while also supporting the UK’s defence industry and promoting sovereign capability.
The future of defence technology is poised to be shaped by advanced drone systems like TigerShark. From tactical drones to long-range autonomous strike drones, the latest generation of drone technology is set to revolutionize the way defence forces operate. With its advanced technology and modular design, TigerShark is poised to play a significant role in this trend, delivering precision strike at scale and supporting the needs of defence forces around the world.
The UK’s sovereign capability and innovation are key factors in MGI Engineering’s success with TigerShark. By combining advanced technology with a flexible design philosophy, the company is providing a platform that meets the evolving needs of defence forces, while also promoting the UK’s defence industry and supporting its global export ambitions.
As the world continues to evolve, it’s clear that drones will play an increasingly important role in defence operations. With TigerShark leading the way, MGI Engineering is poised to remain at the forefront of innovation in drone technology, delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the needs of defence forces around the world.
