Notes & Comments:
The DSCA notice did not disclose the munitions Kenya’s AT-802Ls will use, but it did note that the aircraft will be “capable of using precision munitions.” Considering the COIN objective,
Kenya’s AT-802Ls will be armed with laser-guided bombs and missiles, most notably the Paveway and Hellfire range.
The AT-802U has a maximum payload of 4,100 kg across up to
15 hardpoints under the wings and fuselage. It is powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67F turboprop with a Hartzell propeller. According to
Air Force Technology, the AT-802U has a top speed of 394 km/h, cruising speed of 333 km/h, and maximum range (with external fuel tanks) of 2,414 km. On average, an AT-802U costs less than USD $400 per hour to fly.
