Anvil Propulsion is a founding-stage company on a mission to deliver domestic, NDAA-compliant UAS propellers — made in the USA and built to scale with your program.
Anvil Propulsion is the customer-facing brand of Anvil Defense Systems LLC — an active registered federal contractor. Contracting officers and prime compliance teams can verify our registration in SAM.gov using the identifiers below.
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.
We're not claiming to have solved this yet. We're at the beginning — engineering the propellers, standing up domestic production, and qualifying with the first customers who need a drop-in domestic source.
Northern Nevada offers access to precision manufacturing talent experienced in aerospace and defense production.
Western US base with road, rail, and air access to defense customers and Nevada's active UAS test ranges.
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 per-unit traceability designed into every run.
The plan is straightforward: domestic injection molding of the propeller line, with provenance and serialization designed in from the first run — so that every prop will carry the documentation a defense buyer needs. Here's how we're standing it up.
Tooling for the six-size propeller line, using US-sourced resin and reinforcement — purpose-built for repeatable, high-volume runs.
Each propeller serialized with lot/serial traceability in the spirit of MIL-STD-130 — so any prop can be traced back to its run.
Material provenance and country-of-origin records for every lot, built to support NDAA / covered-country flow-down requirements.
Full traceability from resin to delivered prop — lot/serial tracking, material provenance, and chain-of-custody records, designed in from the first run.
Anvil is a founding-stage effort, drawing on backgrounds in aerospace, manufacturing, and defense technology. As we grow, we'll build out the team — if you want to help build a domestic propeller supply chain, reach out.
