1980sIndustry Changing UAVs
Leading Systems: Amber UAV
In the early 1980s, a pioneering Abe Karem founded Leading Systems Inc. in his garage in Hacienda Heights, California, to build a new type of aircraft. Abe and his small team at Leading Systems developed a series of vehicles that resulted in the world's first operational, large-scale unmanned aerial vehicles that forever changed aviation. Leading Systems' designs were acquired by General Atomics and are now incorporated into the Predator UAV.

1990s - 2000sNext-Generation Rotorcraft
Frontier Systems: A160 Hummingbird
Through the 1990s and early 2000s, Abe's team moved into rotorcraft to solve the efficiency issues that have hampered helicopters since their creation. The resulting A160 Hummingbird broke endurance and altitude records and initiated the technology path leading to Butterfly’s high-efficiency propulsion system. Many of the A160's records hold to this day, and the slowed-rotor concept that was essential to the A160's success has been perfected for Butterfly.

2010s - TodayFuture Vertical Lift
Karem Aircraft: TR-36 Advanced Tilt-Rotor
Moving into the 2010s through the present the focus has been honing an advanced form of propulsion that introduces wing-borne flight. The Optimum Speed Tilt-Rotor (OSTR) brings unmatched aeromechanical efficiency to the fold. Vetted by industry experts at DARPA, NASA, US Army Aviation, this technology has been a key part of the US Army's Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program to field next-generation of rotorcraft and underpins our design.
