The Air Tractor-L3Harris OA-1K Sky Warden (company designation AT-802U) is an American fixed-wing, single-engine Light Attack/Armed Reconnaissance aircraft 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 often used for agricultural purposes.
The AT-802U Sky Warden won the Armed Overwatch trial, and on 1 August 2022, the United States Special Operations Command announced a US$3 billion contract to purchase 75 aircraft by 2029.

These avionics are fucking cool. I want to do more research on the suite.
