I don't have any references handy, but how in the world are the Titan
SRMs related to the Shuttle's SRBs? For beginners, the Titan SRM first
flew in 1965 (Titan IIIC) while Shuttle SRB did not first fire until
1977 and did not fly until 1981. Titan SRMs are manufactured by
Lockheed and Aerojet, I think. Shuttle SRBs by Thiokol.
Even if you are referring to the new 7-segment Titan IV SRMs, still
the answer is no. These were designed, but never built, for the
MOL program. I believe that if there is any connection, it's vice
versa.
