Operation Zapata was a secret U.S. military program in the early 1960s aimed at exploring advanced covert operations, including the development of experimental aircraft and reconnaissance methods. It was part of a broader effort to enhance military intelligence capabilities during the Cold War. The operation involved testing innovative technology and unconventional tactics to gather information and maintain strategic advantage. Although details remain classified, Operation Zapata played a role in advancing aerial surveillance and covert action techniques used by the U.S. intelligence community.
