The YF-12 was a twin-seat version of the then-secret single-seat Lockheed A-12 reconnaissance aircraft operated by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA); unlike the A-12, it was furnished with the Hughes AN/ASG-18 fire-control radar and could be …

The YF-12 was developed in the 1960s as a high-altitude, Mach 3 interceptor to defend against supersonic bombers. Based on the A-12 reconnaissance aircraft, the YF-12A became the forerunner of the highly-sophisticated SR-71 strategic reconnaissance aircraft.

With the F-108 interceptor program having been cancelled due to budgetary constraints, the U.S. Air Force still required a modern high speed interceptor for which a combat adaptation of the Blackbird, named the YF-12, was seen as the solution.

The Lockheed YF-12 is an interceptor aircraft built by Lockheed Corporation during the late 1950s to early 1960s. The aircraft was developed to replace the F-106 Delta Dart.

2020年3月18日 · This combat adaptation of the Blackbird, called the F-12, was set to be equipped by Lockheed Martin with a powerful AN/ASG-18 radar capable of detecting aerial targets over 800km away. The interceptor was also set to carry four long-range AIM-47 missiles, with a range of over 160km and a potent 100-pound high explosive warhead.

The CIA A-12 Blackbird Program . The A-12 started out as an USAF interceptor to replace the cancelled F-108A Rapier. In October 1962, CIA authorized the Skunk Works to study the feasibility of modifying the A-12 to carry and deploy a reconnaissance drone for unmanned overflight of denied areas.
