Since an early age, he had an innate passion for aeronautics, and at the age of 14, he started building model aircraft. Karem is regarded as the founding father of UAV (drone) technology. He graduated in aeronautical engineering from Technion. He built his first drone during the Yom Kippur war for the Israeli Air Force. In the 1970s, he emigrated to the United States. He founded Leading Systems Inc. in his home garage, where he started manufacturing his first drone, Albatross, and later on, the more sophisticated Amber, which eventually evolved into the famous Predator drone, which brought him the title of "dronefather".He received Daniel Guggenheim Medal in 2013 for a lifetime of innovative fixed and rotary wing unmanned vehicle designs.
