Performance of 120 in. solid-motor strap-on units in past three Titan III-C launches established feasibility of transporting rockets across United States; transportation problem was approached by United Technology Center in two phases -- development of special equipment and support systems designed to provide maximum protection to live solid segments, and test program to insure that motor reliability would not be impaired; description of filament-wound glass fiber container, which functions as environmental control envelope and as base for securing to transporter; road and rail tests were carried out.
