HIGH-SPEED RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT

The A-12 was the product of Project Oxcart, a secret military program to
develop a high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. First flown in
1962, the A-12 was built by Lockheed’s Advanced Development Projects
office, now known as Skunk Works. The A-12 was capable of performing
sensitive intelligence-gathering missions while flying at speeds over
Mach 3, or three times the speed of sound. The Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) used A-12s for surveillance missions until 1968.
