The Armed Overwatch program is an effort launched by U.S. Special Operations Command to purchase roughly 75 manned, fixed-wing aircraft to perform close air support, precision strike, and ISR missions. The Air Tractor/L3Harris AT-802U Sky Warden system was selected to deliver this capability SOCOM plans to use the system as a replacement for the U-28A Draco aircraft for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance flights in remote areas. The U-28As will reach the end of their service life soon, so the Armed Overwatch program is being conducted rapidly, with the aim of selecting a design, retraining crews, and fielding the new aircraft without causing "a decrease in capacity on the battlefield." Armed Overwatch and its predecessor programs are distinct from the Light Air Support program, a US Air Force competition to select a turboprop attack aircraft for use by the Afghan Air Force, not by US forces.
