American intercontinental ballistic orbital launch vehicle. Version of refurbished Titan 2 ICBM with two to eight Castor 4A solid-propellant strap-on stages. Proposed in the late 1980's but never developed.

Larger GEM-40 motors were also proposed. Would have required development of a new skirt for the first stage for attachment of the solid boosters.

LEO Payload: 9,000 kg (19,800 lb) to a 185 km orbit at 28.60 degrees.
