The AT-802U Sky Warden is Air Tractor’s newest attempt to sell the Department of Defense a light attack aircraft
The combined offering comes ahead of US Special Operations Command’s planned Armed Overwatch programme, which is supposed to host aircraft demonstrations in 2021 to find a new light attack aircraft. The command is interested in buying up to 75 aircraft in total to replace the U-28A Draco, an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) turboprop based on the Pilatus PC-12.
