Ukraine is set to mass-produce the Stone Cloak electronic warfare system after receiving the rights from Britain to manufacture the device locally. The move gives Kyiv a way to expand access to a compact anti-drone tool at a time when unmanned threats remain a major challenge on the battlefield.
The Stone Cloak system is described as a tablet-sized electronic warfare device designed to help disrupt or counter enemy drone activity. Its small form factor could make it easier to deploy in more locations and in larger numbers, which matters as Russian drone operations continue to grow.
By securing domestic production rights, Ukraine can reduce dependence on outside deliveries and speed up the supply of the system for its own forces. Local manufacturing may also help the country scale production more efficiently as demand for anti-drone technology increases.
The decision highlights how compact electronic warfare tools are becoming an important part of modern defense planning. For Ukraine, the ability to build Stone Cloak at home strengthens its wider effort to improve drone defenses with technology that can be produced and fielded quickly.
