The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is an American single-engine, high altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated from the 1950s by the United States Air Force and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It provides day and night, high-altitude, all-weather intelligence gathering. The aircraft first flew in 1955 and provides continuous surveillance day and night and in all weather conditions.
The aircraft is capable of gathering surveillance and signals intelligence data in real-time and can be deployed anywhere in the world. The design has remained essentially unchanged over decades of operational deployment but the reconnaissance systems are constantly upgraded with state-of-the-art and classified systems. The last U-2 was delivered in 1989 and there are 32 U-2 aircraft in the US Air Force fleet.
