About Anvil

Domestic Propellers for the US Drone Industry

Anvil Propulsion is on a mission to rebuild the domestic drone supply chain — starting with NDAA-compliant propellers, made in the USA and built to scale with your program.

Our Story

Why We Started

The regulatory landscape shifted. Federal restrictions on foreign-made UAS components tightened. And suddenly, every US drone OEM faced the same question: where do compliant components come from?

We started Anvil because the honest answer was "almost nowhere." Domestic supply of NDAA-compliant propellers in the sizes US programs actually fly — with the traceability a defense buyer needs — remains thin. We're building that: one focused product, done right.

Location Strategy

Why Reno, Nevada

Workforce

Northern Nevada offers access to precision manufacturing talent experienced in aerospace and defense production.

Proximity

Western US base with road, rail, and air access to defense customers and Nevada's active UAS test ranges.

Infrastructure

Logistics hub with rail, road, and air access for efficient distribution across the continental US.

Our Nevada manufacturing model is being purpose-built for domestic propeller molding — with lot-level traceability designed into every run.

How We Build

Domestic, Traceable Propeller Manufacturing

Anvil is built on domestic injection molding: nine propeller families, molded at a US contract cell in glass-fiber PA66 or polycarbonate, with provenance documented on every production lot — so that every lot will carry the documentation a defense buyer needs.

Domestic Injection Molding

Injection-mold tooling for the propeller line, using US-sourced resin and reinforcement — purpose-built for repeatable, high-volume runs.

Two Materials

Glass-fiber-reinforced PA66 where a platform needs stiffness under load; polycarbonate where it needs impact survival and low rotational mass. Material follows the application, not the size.

Country-of-Origin Documentation

Material provenance and country-of-origin records for every lot, built to support NDAA / covered-country flow-down requirements.

Drop-In by Design

Drop-in means same diameter, pitch, blade count, and mount. Each family is built to a size class on all four, so a platform keeps its tune when the supplier changes.

People

Team

We built Anvil around what a program needs from a component supplier: repeatable parts, documented origin, and supply that holds at production volume.

Our mission is to rebuild the domestic supply chain, and the propeller is where we start: domestic from the resin up.
