Adcom Systems, the manufacturer of the medium altitude long endurance (MALE) UAVs, announced arrangements to supply the United 40 to Russia in 2013. The tests of the UAVs were subsequently postponed at the Russian Defense Ministry’s request.

According to the manufacturer, United 40 is designed for strategic missions such as near real time combat assessment, battle damage assessment and intelligence preparation of the battlefield. It may also be used for reconnaissance operations and humanitarian aid missions as well as border surveillance and communications relay.
