Dubai Airshow 2011: Adcom unveils United 40 MALE UAV

Abu Dhabi-based Adcom used the Dubai Airshow to unveil its latest creation – the United 40 MALE UAV. The United 40 uses an unusual biplane configuration and a hybrid turbine-electric engine to enhance its endurance. The aircraft on display in Dubai is the first prototype and Ali Al Dhaheri, general designer and CEO at Adcom, said he hoped to fly the aircraft in the next three to four weeks.

'With most UAVs with a pusher propeller, the centre of gravity is towards the rear of the aircraft,' said Al Dhaheri, 'But with the two-wing configuration, we keep the centre of gravity in the middle of the aircraft. ‘The United 40 uses a patented design wing giving it a glide ratio of 1:43. That’s four times more than the glide ratio of the MQ-9 Reaper,' he added.

Al Dhaheri claimed that the wings allow the aircraft sustain cruise flight at a one-sixth of the aircraft's full engine power of 120 hp, provided by the Rotax 914 engine. The power of the electric motor, which is capable of producing 80 hp can be combined with the engine to give the aircraft 200 hp, boosting take-off performance in hot and high conditions.

The United 40, which has been named in celebration of the United Arab Emirates 40th anniversary, is also designed to be armed, capable of carrying up to eight Namrod air-to-ground missiles. The missiles feature fold out wings that deploy when the weapons are ejected from the aircraft. The weapons are carried on a rotary launcher.

Al Dhaheri says one of the design priorities was to keep design clean to improve aerodynamics – as a result even the aircraft's EO/IR sensor is retractable. Control operations can be done by satellite or line-of-sight. Al Dhaheri claimed the aircraft could fly for several days, although company literature suggests a more conservative but no less impressive 25 hours. The aircraft is 11m long and has a wing span of 17.5m.




If i had such a Big UAV with 3 Engines then i can too Stay over 100 Hours with over 200 Galons of Fuel.

But what happens if no more Fuel is there ? And why 3 Engines ? Hybrid Engines ? Not Easy to Repair ,we see that in the History ,what Ferdinand Porsche has tried.


IT´s not Flying ,it´s gliding !

I see on 23.000 Feet and a Payload with 200 - 400 KG , Someone here is lying !

Tech From Russia and France ? Money Speaks !

What you mean with 15 People on Board ?

Something like this ? =

Why 3 Engines on a UAV ? looks like a Easy Hunt for a Fighter !

I see Only 23,000 Feet !

I have few questions
1 Can it fly ?
2 Can it fire Missiles
3 How will it be controlled through Satellite or not ?

1 Can it fly ? YES
2 Can it fire Missiles ? YES
3 How will it be controlled through Satellite or not ? That bulge in the trunk means there is a satellite receiver.

So here comes another question How on earth it has not been sold yet and have UAE sent Satellite ? and if not than when because this technology needs complete back up

The Only Option for this is ,that Russia or USA or France are helping.
 
.
If this UAV climbs the 30000ft with more than 100h endurance , Those specifications rank UAE "Best" UAV manufacturer of the World without any doubt because No other UAV's around the World with similar size can't do this.

Think Global Hawk's(The best UAV on World) final model MQ-4C Triton(60000ft) have a duration around 30h, ANKA-B is planned 24h, Heron with AselFlir-300T is around 25-30h, Original Heron 50h, Predator-B (Reaper) 14h (fully loaded), Predator-A 24h

- Question:
What do they mean by this? Did they mean the land control room?

“It can carry 10 missiles on board, each one having a 60km range and 1,000kph speed,” said Ali Al Dhaheri, general designer and CEO of Adcom Systems. “It can fly over 100 hours without refuelling at a 30,000ft altitude. It is very reliable, has twin engines, six fly control units and over 400 channels of communications.” Designed for strategic missions such as border surveillance, battle damage assessment, intelligence preparation of battlefield, combat assessment and humanitarian aid, United 40 can take off with 2,000kg on board. If desired, it can also have up to 15 people on board."

The answer is that it is far more capable and advanced than any UAV France and Russia have. For the USA, it's better in some specs.

I dn't have any prblem with reading but I think You have some problem with playing around the World When sIt comes to save your day. You helped UAE to develop 107mm rockets but The rockets developed suddenly became one by one same of Roketsan's 107mm regarding every specifications instead of based on? Dude, Delusion is not a good thing. If NIMR with 107mm rockets have some connections weith Serbia, It is about aft tents and the platform stationed. As you see Missiles have not any connection with you That's what I can tell you with tens of sources. Read and compare the specifications of each 107mm rockets carefully...

Arabic resources are saying that they are Serbia rockets. I believe it is changed now to Roketsan. there might be even the option with the two.

It was a dealing between the local supplier (AlJabr, who is the initial builder of NIMR+Jordan) with the Serbia company. Now after NIMR is purchased by TAWAZUN, Roketsan rockets are introduced with all sizes.

Russia/Sowjets are making since 1950 ´s Drones ,i will say in 2-3 Years Russia will have a Big Answer for all who thinks that their Drones are better.

That explains few things.

The specs have been revealed recently in the exhibition and published by media and this is one, the specs were confirmed by the designer of the UAV in a press release and this is two, and he himself said that only USA and Israel have such tech.
(Google translation)
He said the company, which began its work in Abu Dhabi in 1988, he became production now thrown wide attention from many countries of the developed world, where the United States U.S. and Russia are seeking to produced the plane "Abhon - Union 40", because of its great potential to match its counterpart of the fineste quipment World.

“It is the first one in the world to hunt UAVs. It has an advanced auto-tracking system, being capable of image tracking and downloading video to the user, and also capable of automatic engage and destroy operation.”

A Hunter UAV ,we will see in the Future how it will Hunt´s.

(Google Translation is bad ,for Arabic is Google a very bad Choice).
