Bibliographic Details
Title: Some Technical Aspects of the Evolution of the Titan Weapon System.
Authors: Stumpf, David K.
Source: Journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation. 2025, Vol. 72 Issue 5, p55-80. 26p.
Subject Terms: *Titan (Satellite), *Airframes, *Propulsion systems, *Propellants, *Military vehicles
Abstract: The article focuses on the technical evolution of the Titan Weapon System from its origins as an alternate to Atlas through the short-lived Titan I and its crucial role in enabling the highly successful Titan II. Topics include advances in airframe construction and mass efficiency, propulsion and propellant choices including staging and engine design, and the development of guidance, reentry vehicles, and hardened silo-based launch infrastructure.
