FuelBoss™ AT-802

Military

The Air Tractor 802 has built a reputation as a rugged, reliable, and highly adaptable platform, proven to excel in agricultural operations, aerial firefighting, and military support roles. Designed for high endurance, low operating costs, and exceptional payload capacity, the AT-802 is the world’s largest and most capable single-engine turboprop aircraft, making it an ideal choice for specialized missions, including air-to-air refueling and tactical fuel tanking. Demonstrated through decades of service in harsh environments, including remote regions with limited infrastructure and improvised runways.

In service for over 17 years, the FuelBoss tanker is the most capable tanker of its size. With a maxiumim take-off weight of 16000lbs the FuelBoss can deliver over 4000L of fuel to some of the hardest to reach locations in the world with limited or no fuel infrastructure. Currently being operated in the harsh locales of Northern Canada to South East Asia, the FuelBoss excels in challenging conditions.

In 2016 we began operations in Indonesia, delivering fuel to underserviced communities in the mountains of Papua and Kalimantan. A notable achievement of the FuelBoss tanker in Indonesia was assisting after an earthquake destroyed a local runway, causing conventional tankers to be unable to deliver fuel. The FuelBoss was able to land on the same runway split in two by the earthquake, getting much needed fuel to its destination. We believe this stark contrast in environments in which we deliver to shows the strength of the FuelBoss bulk fuel tanker platform.

Whether the FuelBoss is filling a critical need operating on or from a damaged runway or highway, gravel road, or frozen lake the FuelBoss can deliver fuel to its destination reliably and for the lowest cost per pound in its class.

When fuel security on the ground is essential, the FuelBoss will keep the pumps running, wherever they are located.

Mission Matched

Reliable Fuel Logistics for Forward Operations

FuelBoss is a fuel tanking aircraft and logistics solution designed to enhance fuel security and operational resilience. The FuelBoss tanker provides our customers with a mobile, adaptable, and efficient system for delivering fuel where traditional supply chains are vulnerable or impractical. By enabling fuel delivery closer to the point of need, FuelBoss extends the operational reach of ground forces, aircraft, and support vehicles

Fuel Resilience in Contested Environments

Modern conflicts and strategic deployments require fuel supply lines that are resilient against disruption. FuelBoss minimizes reliance on fixed infrastructure, reducing vulnerabilities to supply chain attacks, sabotage, or logistical breakdowns. Its modular design allows rapid deployment and fuel distribution in austere, high-risk environments.

Force Multiplied

Emergency Preparedness / Rapid Response

FuelBoss is an asset for disaster response, humanitarian aid, and emergency operations. In the wake of natural disasters, infrastructure failures, or large-scale crises, FuelBoss tankers ensure immediate fuel availability for critical assets like generators, medical units, airlift aircraft, and evacuation vehicles. The FuelBoss tankers rapid and flexible deployment capability makes it a force multiplier for both military and joint civil-military emergency response efforts.

Rugged & Scalable Fuel Logistics / Future-Proofed Fuel Logistics

FuelBoss is built for extreme environments, from arctic to arid operations or deployments. Its scalable system allows integration into existing logistics frameworks or standalone operation in remote areas. With adaptable architecture, FuelBoss is ready for integration with emerging technologies, including automated fuel management and remote piloting technologies. This ensures forces can maintain a strategic advantage in fuel security and operational sustainability.

FuelBoss understands the challenges that come with fuel logistics, and we are leveraging our expertise in developing solutions for the aerial refuelling market.

The A2 is a military air-to-air (AAR) refueling tanker prototype currently in development at FuelBoss. With an emphasis on refueling receiver rotorcraft, the A2 aims to fill training and operational gaps. AAR extends the operational range and endurance of receiver aircraft, allowing missions to be farther and longer. This enhances fleet flexibility and response capabilities, reducing reliance on fixed ground facilities, and allowing for more dynamic mission planning. There is currently a high demand for large tankers like KC-46 and MRTT and with the addition of the A2, they can be better utilized where they are needed the most.

Mission Matched

Designed for Rotorcraft First

The A2 is being developed with helicopter AAR in mind. With a mission envelope close to that of conventional high-utilization helicopters such as the UH-60 Blackhawk and CH-47 Chinook, the A2 reduces pilot burden and increases operational efficiency.

Minimize Training Resources

Built to drastically reduce the cost of training, the A2 can fill the role of AAR training tanker much more efficiently than other conventional large tankers. This allows receiver pilots more real-life training contacts at a lower cost and frees up other tanking assets to fill other critical roles.

Force Multiplied

Operationally Flexible

With the unparalleled versatility of the FuelBoss platform, the A2 can extend tanking operations to inaccessible areas on the ground. Capable of landing on the harshest of improvised runways, the A2 will ensure rapid response to any situation, without the need to change configuration.

Remote Piloted Logistics

Due to the adaptable architecture of the AT-802 and the FuelBoss tanker conversion of the A2 to a remote pilotable aircraft will be straightforward. Future adaptability is a focus in the development of the A2, ensuring that technological developments can be applied to further enhance the utility of the aircraft. Initial models will not come equipped with the capability to be remotely piloted but through work with autonomy partners, A2 is set up to be converted once RPAS technology matures.
