The '''Air Tractor AT-802''' is an American [[Engineering:Agricultural aircraft|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 [[Engineering:Hopper (particulate collection container)|hopper]] between the engine [[Engineering:Firewall (construction)#Firewalls outside of building construction|firewall]] and the [[Engineering:Cockpit|cockpit]]. In the U.S., it is considered a Type III SEAT, or Single Engine Air Tanker.<ref name=redbook17>{{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 }}</ref>

In its standard configuration, the aircraft utilizes [[Engineering:Conventional landing gear|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 [[Engineering:Amphibious aircraft|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.

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 [[Company:L3Harris|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 [[Engineering:Pilatus PC-12|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.<ref>{{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.
