Makobond composite systems are built for the next generation of defense manufacturing. In response to the Department of Defense’s directive to scale up low-cost, high-performance drones, we provide U.S.-made prepregs, film adhesives, paste adhesives, and specialty compounds designed for speed, strength, and efficiency. Our HyperCure materials cut cycle times from hours to minutes while maintaining the high specific strength and thermal stability critical to unmanned aerial systems. With short lead times, domestic sourcing, and engineering support, Makobond helps drone and UAS manufacturers deliver at scale and stay ahead of mission demands.
On July 10, 2025, the U.S. Secretary of Defense called small drones “the biggest battlefield innovation in a generation” and ordered a rapid buildup of American UAS. MAKO Advanced Materials helps manufacturers hit those timelines with HyperCure resin systems that reduce cycles from hours to minutes – without sacrificing strength, toughness, or thermal stability.
Shortly thereafter, an Executive Order titled “Unleashing American Drone Dominance” forced a significant shift towards rapidly increasing the production, procurement, and deployment of domestically manufactured, low-cost drones across all military branches, streamlining processes, and enhancing training capabilities to meet the evolving demands of modern warfare.
The Makobond line of HyperCure prepregs and adhesives is intended to give the US fabricator an edge in composites manufacturing, including faster curing prepregs, shorter pot life and cure paste adhesives, and higher temperature film adhesives. All with short lead time, competitive pricing, and high-volume availability anywhere in the world.
→ higher throughput, lower energy cost
→ longer flight times & bigger payloads
→ flexible tooling and easy field repairs
→ 100 % U.S. supply chain for fast certification
→ EMI shielding, flame retardance, radar transparency, rapid cure capability
Speed to scale: HyperCure cycles align with experimental UAS deployments due by Sept 2025 and mass rollout by 2026-27.
R&D New Materials: MAKO Lab is ready to develop new snap-cure materials to meet your custom demands
Offset long lead time materials: MAKO Lab will formulate short lead time equivalents to long lead time materials that delay your supply chain
Onshore: MAKO will create a US-sourced equivalent to materials in your supply chain that are still sourced over-seas
Cost-effective readiness: faster cycles and OOA tooling cut unit costs-ideal for “cheap and effective U.S-made UAS.”
Domestic sourcing: 100% U.S. materials simplify upcoming Blue List certification and DCMA oversight
If you are working on UAS platforms that require faster builds, reduced energy use, or quick-turn material replacements, Makobond is ready to collaborate.
Contact our team to explore available HyperCure prepregs, film adhesives, and specialty products that meet Blue List requirements and align with evolving Pentagon timelines. You can also engage MAKO Lab for custom snap-cure formulations or short-lead equivalents to materials slowing your supply chain. Makobond is the materials partner for manufacturers committed to leading the era of American drone production.
At MAKO Advanced Materials, we make custom prepregs to meet military specifications, old and new. Collaborate with our experts to author a new material spec, or to create a composite material that can meet or exceed an existing spec.
