MGI Engineering and Italy’s Vigilar Group proudly announced their new strategic manufacturing partnership at DSEI 2025, showcasing the collaboration in front of the SkyShark drone platform on the MGI stand.

The partnership brings together MGI’s advanced autonomous platform design capabilities with Vigilar’s high-end production expertise, enabling scalable European manufacturing of cutting-edge UAVs such as SkyShark and TigerShark. This development forms part of MGI’s mission to rapidly deliver lightweight, high-performance unmanned systems that support defence operations in contested environments.

“This partnership is a natural evolution of our strategy to scale high-performance mobility solutions globally,” said Mike Gascoyne, CEO of MGI Engineering. “Vigilar shares our passion for engineering excellence and innovation.”

Both companies will focus on co-development, prototyping, and full-scale production of next-generation unmanned platforms that prioritise autonomy, sustainability, and battlefield utility.

MGI and Vigilar’s announcement comes at a time of increasing demand for cost-effective, persistent surveillance and strike capabilities across NATO and allied defence environments.
