SKYSHARK

Innovative Strike System to Meet the Demands of Modern Battlefield

SkyShark™ is a medium-range, high-speed One Way Effector (OWE) drone designed to deliver decisive strike capability at low cost and high volume. Engineered for autonomous operation in GPS-denied, communications-contested environments, it delivers 20kg of modular payload over 250km with subsonic velocity exceeding 450km/h.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, and available commercially from August 2025, SkyShark™ is MGI’s response to the growing global need for rapid, scalable autonomous strike solutions. MGI also offers aligned countries the opportunity to manufacture SkyShark™ locally under license.

Mission Effectiveness

SkyShark™ enables autonomous strike deep into contested battlespaces, including under active jamming and anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) threats. Capable of low-altitude, high-speed ingress, it supports operations across air, land, and maritime domains. Its simplicity, modularity, and high survivability make it suitable for persistent use in live conflict environments—without reliance on constant control.

Combined with swarm or decoy tactics, SkyShark™ increases the probability of target saturation, distraction, or degradation of adversary defences—at a cost point that supports tactical attrition.
