An OT-47B is a military variant of the Cessna 560, hence it is dubbed SR-560 Tracker with the Colombian Air Force. The Tracker is equipped with the F-16's APG-66(V) radar in the nose, as well as the WF-360TL imaging system. Five of these aircraft were handed over to Colombia as part of the Air Bridge Denial (ABD) programme, which saw a dramatic decline in drug smuggling by air. ColBra III was a Colombian-Brazilian exercise held in 2009 with the aim to control their aerial border in close cooperation. Ex N5373D delivered in August 2002.
