Sources: 2. Developments: 2. British defense firm MGI Engineering has introduced two distinct unmanned aerial systems. In July 2026, the company announced the T-022 Vortex, an autonomous collaborative platform designed for the United Kingdom’s StormFighter programme. The T-022 Vortex is an 11-metre aircraft capable of speeds exceeding Mach 0.85 and a range over 4,000 km. It is intended to operate as a “loyal wing” alongside crewed fighters like the Eurofighter Typhoon to perform strike, surveillance, and electronic warfare tasks. Following this, in August 2026, MGI unveiled the TigerShark, a low-cost, single-use strike drone. Unlike the larger Vortex, the TigerShark is designed to function as an intermediate-range cruise missile, carrying a 300-kilogram payload over a 900-kilometer range at speeds of 750 km/h. The system utilizes inertial navigation to operate in GPS-denied environments and is launched from ground vehicles using rocket-assisted propulsion. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-18: MGI Engineering unveils TigerShark high-speed strike drone British firm MGI Engineering has unveiled the TigerShark, an affordable, single-use strike drone capable of speeds up to 466 mph and operating in GPS-denied environments. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/mgi-engineering-unveils-tigershark-high-speed-strike-drone ### 2026-07-27: UK StormFighter program unveils MGI T-022 Vortex combat drone MGI Engineering presented its T-022 Vortex autonomous combat drone for the UK’s StormFighter program, featuring a 1,000 kg payload, Mach 0.85 speed and integration with Eurofighter Typhoon and F‑35, with flight 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/uk-stormfighter-program-unveils-mgi-t-022-vortex-combat-drone --- Cite as: MGI Engineering unmanned aerial developments.
