Leadership
Richard
McWilliams | Founder
Richard McWilliams has been a pioneer in the fields of science, technology, and engineering since he was a child. In 1973, at the age of 9, Richard sketched a design for an unmanned airplane on a piece of graph paper. He called it the Global Parasol Hawk. His design envisioned an armed aircraft that would patrol the skies above the United States and attack incoming threats. Richard's father accidentally took the drawing to work with him one day. He worked at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and the drawing was seen by Captain Riley, who was with the Air Force's Advanced Systems Division (ASD). Captain Riley recognized the concept as "20 years ahead of its time." He asked to meet with the young boy who drew it.
Richard's early design for the Global Parasol Hawk was a precursor to the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that are used by the military today. Then in 1977, at the age of 13, he built a 3-kilowatt laser for a school science project, which caught the attention of General Lawrence A. Skantze, commander of the Aeronautical Systems Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. General Skantze invited Richard to work with the ASD, where he began his lifelong passion for innovation. The Air Force continued to monitor Richard's activities, and he eventually went on to become a successful engineer. -read more-
