Avalon 2017: L3 and Air Tractor marketing AT-802L armed turboprop as OA-8 Longsword

L3 Technologies and Air Tractor are marketing their AT-802L (formerly AT-802U) as the OA-8 Longsword at the 2017 Avalon Airshow in Australia, as the partners look to secure regional sales for the armed turboprop aircraft.
Company representatives told Jane's on 1 March that there are a number of requirements in Australia, New Zealand, and the wider Asia-Pacific region that could suit the newly re-designated OA-8, but declined to be more specific.
Literature displayed by L3 and Air Tractor at the event gave the OA-8 a 400 n mile range with five hours of on-station time in an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance configuration; a more than 10 hour endurance; a more than 2,812 kg payload (6,200 lb); an unprepared runway capability; and availability with a mobile command and ground control station. A model and imagery displayed showed the aircraft to be carrying 'dumb' bombs, rocket pods, and Gatling guns from its under-wing and under-fuselage hardpoints. A representative for L3 said that, while the OA-8 had performed a weapons drop during trials, it has not yet been certified.
The promotion of the OA-8 at the Australian International Aerospace and Defence Exposition in Geelong, near Melbourne, comes at a difficult time for the partnership of L3 and Air Tractor as its recently approved sale to Kenya of 12 AT-802L aircraft (plus two AT-504 trainers) is being investigated by the Congressman representing its chief competitor, IOMAX. Congressman Ted Budd contends that L3 and Air Tractor have misrepresented their product in Kenya and elsewhere to piggy-back on the success of the IOMAX AT-802 and Archangel platforms developed for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and other potential customers.
Previously, Air Tractor had not responded to Jane's requests for comment on allegations pertaining to sales to Kenya and Egypt specifically, while L3 had responded that it had no comment.
