These projects are designed to remain hidden from the public and may include activities like surveillance, espionage, or the development of advanced technologies. The goal is typically to gain a strategic advantage or to protect national security. Such projects can involve various entities, including CIA, NSA, or military branches, and may utilize undercover agents or classified information. The outcomes of covert projects can significantly influence political landscapes, international relations, and technological advancements, often without public awareness.
