The Air Tractor AT-802 is an American agricultural aircraft that may also be adapted into fire-fighting or armed versions. It first flew in the United States in October 1990 and is manufactured by Air Tractor. The AT-802 carries a chemical hopper between the engine firewall and the cockpit. In the U.S., it is considered a Type III SEAT, or Single Engine Air Tanker.{{cite web|url=http://www.nifc.gov/red_book/2007/Chapter17.pdf |title=Interagency Standards for Fire and Aviation Operations 2007, Chapter 17 |access-date=2007-08-31 |publisher=National Interagency Fire Center |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928013524/http://www.nifc.gov/red_book/2007/Chapter17.pdf |archive-date=2007-09-28 |url-status=dead }}
Development
In its standard configuration, the aircraft utilizes conventional landing gear (two main wheels and a tail wheel). However, a number of aircraft have been converted to the Fire Boss aerial firefighting configuration, which utilizes Wipaire 10000 amphibious floats, so that it can land on a traditional runway or on water. The Fire Boss can scoop water from a lake or river for use on a fire. In addition to the {{convert|820|gal|L}}[http://www.airtractoreurope.com/aviones/ficha/ficha_tecnica/1 AT-802 Fire Boss Factsheet] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110909143416/http://www.airtractoreurope.com/aviones/ficha/ficha_tecnica/1 |date=2011-09-09 }} at http://www.airtractoreurope.com standard fuselage-mounted retardant tank, the Fire Boss can have optional {{convert|35|gal|L}} foam tanks in the floats.[http://www.wipaire.com/pdf/service_manuals/1002545.pdf Wipaire Fire Boss Service Manual] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080725071100/http://www.wipaire.com/pdf/service_manuals/1002545.pdf |date=2008-07-25 }} Operations with floats installed have been shown to produce a shorter and narrower retardant drop pattern than wheeled AT-802s.{{Cite web |url=http://wildfire.fpinnovations.ca/38/802Report.htm |title="Evaluation of Long Term Retardant Drop Patterns from Air Tractor 802 Amphibious Float and Wheel Equipped Aircraft", Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada, February 2006 |access-date=2013-02-24 |archive-date=2015-01-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150109004224/http://wildfire.fpinnovations.ca/38/802Report.htm |url-status=dead }}

On 1 August 2022, United States Special Operations Command indicated they would purchase up to 75 AT-802U Sky Warden aircraft to support special operations forces in fighting irregular wars. Air Tractor will manufacture the airframes and L3Harris will then modify them into the Armed Overwatch mission configuration. The planes are intended to perform armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions at low cost in permissive environments from austere locations, and will allow SOCOM to remove the aging U-28A Draco from combat service. The Sky Warden can deploy guided weapons including the APKWS rocket, GBU-12 laser-guided bomb, and Hellfire and Griffin missiles; it has a six-hour loiter time at a {{cvt|200|nmi|mi km}} radius. The initial contract is for $170 million, with a ceiling of $3 billion for purchase of the full fleet. The plan is for five squadrons of 15 planes, one deployed at a time, three undergoing maintenance, and one for training. Initial service entry is expected in 2026, with all delivered and full operating capability reached in 2029.{{cite web|url= https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/us-special-operations-forces-will-soon-get-support-from-a-rugged-new-aircraft/ar-AA10gQrZ?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=9783962ac8954284bc7ddda45fc73d60 |title=US special operations forces will soon get support from a rugged new aircraft|publisher=Kelsey D.
