Designing Low-Cost, Long-Range Autonomous Strike Drones
MGI Engineering recently unveiled their new long-range autonomous precision strike drone, TigerShark, at the 2025 Defense and Security Equipment International (DSEI) event in London.
MGI is a U.K.-based engineering consultancy founded by former Formula 1 (F1) Chief Designer Mike Gascoyne. The company developed TigerShark in response to the growth in demand from defense customers for the top of low-cost drones, one-way effectors, and loitering munitions that have been effectively used on both sides of the war in Ukraine .
Gascoyne is the guest on this episode of the Aerospace & Defense Technology podcast to explain how MGI is leveraging their history of collaborating with F1 racing teams to design low-cost precision strike drones that can be manufactured at scale.
