The Air Tractor L3Harris OA-1K Skyraider II (company name AT-802U Sky Warden) is an American fixed-wing, single-engine counter-insurgency aircraft, configured for light attack and armed ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance). It is built by Air Tractor and L3Harris for the Armed Overwatch program of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM). It was developed from the Air Tractor AT-802, an American aircraft that is used for agriculture and fire-fighting and has been militarized in other programs. The AT-802U Sky Warden won the Armed Overwatch trial. In August 2022, SOCOM announced a US$3 billion contract to purchase 75 aircraft by 2029.
